What People Say
Reviewers highlight mixed feedback on Newtown at Gateway Condominiums, an 8-story, 137-unit complex completed in 1973 on the Watertown-Newton line, 6 miles west of Downtown Boston. Positives include suitability for middle-income families with two parks plus an additional park-like area, 24-hour water supply, and unusually large green and walking spaces for the Newtown area, alongside urban convenience near universities like Harvard and outdoor recreation options. However, sharp criticisms focus on poor construction quality, negative management practices, and a serious complaint of alleged fraudulent and unethical behavior by an owner/landlord causing harassment to a prospective tenant.
