Waltham Overview

Commonly referred to as 'Watch City' thanks to its long and proud history as a city of industry, Waltham is a blue collar city with much to offer. From its stately downtown streets to the abundance of regional sites to see, this arts-friendly hub combines amenities and charm to yield a Massachusetts locale well worthy of consideration.

What is the history of Waltham?

A major contributor to the Industrial Revolution and the initial homestead to the famed Boston Manufacturing Company, Waltham dates back to the 1600s but truly came to prominence in the early 1830s. A number of large estates housed a variety of upper crust through the years, ranging from governors to philanthropists, and the famed American Watch Company opened its doors in 1857. The company would continue for over 100 years, creating over 35 million watches and clocks before it closed in the late 1950s. Today, Waltham apartments act as home to many of the city's 60,000 residents, with financial and technology institutions making up much of the local economic base. 

How is the weather in Waltham?

Those calling apartments in Waltham home can anticipate four distinct seasons, highlighted by hot and sunny summers and occasionally harsh winters. Spring and fall are pleasant for the most part, marked by chilly evenings and delightful daytime temps. Snow is common in the winter.

How do I get around town?

Waltham is considered a 'walking city' thanks to its large number of paths and trails, including the famed and scenic Riverwalk. Still, a majority of those in Waltham rentals claim ownership of at least one personal automobile for most travel needs. The MBTA commuter rail has two line stops in the city, and bus service is offered via over a half dozen different routes.

What is the Waltham commute like?

A number of U.S. Highways can be reached from Waltham with ease, including Interstate 95 and Interstate 90, both major roadways. While those commuting to the greater Boston job market may encounter that notorious city traffic, in general movement in and around Waltham proper is smooth-flowing.

What are the local media outlets?

The 'Waltham News Tribune' is a weekly city-specific publication, and the 'Boston Herald' remains a staple of the region. WCAC represents the local broadcasting option, with a number of major affiliates also reached with ease. Radio runs the range from classic rock to R&B, with classical music station 99.5 holding its offices in the heart of downtown.

Why live in Waltham, MA?

From the abundance of public parks and biking paths along the scenic Charles River, to the celebrated museums and eclectic eateries, apartments for rent in Waltham present a fantastic opportunity to get to know this thriving Massachusetts city. With several universities within easy reach and top employers including Bank of America and Verizon helping to grow the local economy, Waltham apartments remain a solid choice for anyone considering a move to the Tri-State area.

What Waltham landmarks should I see?

The Supermarket on Main has stood tall since 1936, and the Waltham Library is an impressive house of literature. Gore Place and the Lyman Estate are two of the most popular homesteads in the city, complete with walking tours and gift shops, and residents of Waltham apartments will undoubtedly want to visit the gorgeous Charles River Walkway, where biking and fishing are commonplace.

What is there to do around Waltham?

Stroll the halls of the Rose Art Museum, or the infamous Wharehouse Studio, where Aerosmith held court in the 1970s, both just a short jaunt from numerous apartments for rent in Waltham. Grab a meal at the affectionately deemed 'Restaurant Row', or take in a night of classical favorites at the Waltham Symphony Orchestra. 

Any annual festivals or Waltham events to know?

The city plays host to an array of yearly events, including favorites such as the lively Latinos en Acción Festival, which features cuisine and live music, and nearby Boston is of course home to the annual Marathon. 

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Hit the beaches of Cape Cod, or spend an afternoon enjoying the antique shops of Portland, Maine, both a reasonable drive from most Waltham rentals. Boston, of course, has a huge assortment of nightlife and museums available, not to mention the Red Sox. Upstate New York makes for a scenic road trip as well, with plenty of camping and hiking opportunities for the nature fans.

Where is the best place to move in Waltham?

From the scenic Elison Park neighborhood to the convenience of Banks Square, Waltham apartments for rent are available to match a wide assortment of lifestyles and budgets. So what are you waiting for? Start your search today, and begin discovering everything that life in New England has to offer! good luck and happy hunting!
