Having moved from the area between Packard's Corner and Coolidge Corner, I was afraid that we would…read morereally feel that we are out in the 'burbs when moving to Newton. The Newton Highlands area is adorable. The little strip of shops and restaurants gives us a little place to walk around on the weekend. We have learned the hits and misses and are enjoying the process of learning our favorite places to dine and shop. While I still miss the late hours of the places on Comm and Brighton Ave, I'm adjusting to sprinting down the street to get sushi before is closes... at 9pm. The train station is directly on Walnut Street, making going to and from this area of Newton very accessible. The highlands abuts Needham and Needham Street so it might get over looked in comparison to the many shops on Needham St but give the Highland's a try.

I was envisioning a much larger selection. They did have a few pieces to stop and give pause but nothing earth shattering. Now what I will say is that they had a fully stocked skincare/haircare section that had amazing deals and 75% of the stock was name brand products. The purse section was also pretty well stocked though I think you'll find more of a variety at Burlington with better price points. The remainder of the store had similar offerings that the other various Tj Maxx's have in the region just slightly more upscale with no sparse shelves or racks. So overall worth a stop, but slightly lower your expectations if you were specifically coming in for Runway and only Runway.

Ryan has a great relationship with his suppliers and is able to secure some of the most sought after beers across New England.....seriously, at this point whatever craft beer he puts in my hand I just don't ask questions and buy it....and it's always great.

Commonwealth Ave also has excellent bus service. The shopping center is anchored by a large format Star Market but also has one full bank branch, one smaller ATM-only bank branch, a bagel shop, a cleaner and a hair salon. There's plenty of parking. When I was here, the lot was well maintained with no litter visible. There is one entrance and one exit for Commonwealth Ave. It does not have a turn lane for those crossing traffic.

Things go fast, so if you like something, don't think on it too long. The reason for the 4 of 5 instead of 5 of 5 stars... Staff is hit or miss... i have had some fantastic ladies help me, but i have also been looked down upon by one lady when i was there who got mad that i was looking at something on a rack (which is not labeled "hold rack" or anything, and looks like all of the others). I pulled something out to look at it and she flipped out and said "THAT IS MY STUFF, LEAVE IT ALONE"... that was rude and soured my taste a bit, but the others i have dealt with are very nice. Wish they had a website we could buy through. I have to go there as my Dad's personal buyer for my mom all the time (they live out of town), and it is a pain. They don't have a website with all of their items online so you must go in.
