Well, there's not much to say about Broadway Plaza. I go there mainly for two larger occupants. The…read morefirst being the Asian supermarket and the second being the buffet. That being said, I also go and frequent some of the other stores the dollar store the liquor store the little pizza place at the end.. all in all this is a great little plaza right on Broadway. Malden could be Everett right on the line. There is way more parking than needed. You will always 100% get a spot in front of any store that you like the worst thing that's gonna happen is you have to walk about 15 cars down the place is huge. The parking lot is kept lit and clean.

Located along 129 aka Boston Road, this L-shaped shopping plaza is anchored by the Market Basket…read moresupermarket at one end and also has a Chipotle, Japanese steakhouse, Starbucks, burger place, paper store, Bank of America, Supercuts, urgent care, liquor store and a Joann crafts store. There is a traffic light at the one entrance and that makes it easy to cross the traffic. The plaza is in decent condition and it was a good spot to park for a bit though overnight parking is not permitted. I shopped, I ate and I hung out.

Wonderful shopping area. Plenty of parking. Great customer service at all the stores and…read morerestaurants I've tried over the past 8 years. I also go there just to go for a long walk. They play music on the loudpspeakers. I looked online to get a complete listing of stores, the lists I saw were outdated. My estimate would be 25 stores. My favorites are BJs, TJ Maxx, and 5 and Under. Off the top of my head, some of the others are Lowe's, 110 Grill, Cabella's, Michaels, Panera, Fit Factory (gym), Dollar Store, a Mexican restaurant, Starbuck's, Crumbl Cookies, Mooyah's Burger and Fries, Market Basket, and store for baby clothing. There's also Emerson Urgent Care and a physical therapy office.

This is a massive shopping center! It's located just off the 495 highway and is quite easy to…read moreaccess with one entrance next to the BJs and another one a little further down the road. That's it - just those two entrances/exits! Yes, BJ's Warehouse has a separate area with their own BJ's Gas Station and the rest of the mall is on the other side. Lots of big boxes: Cabela's, Fit Factory, Michaels, Bed Bath & Beyond, Five Below, Ulta Beauty, TJ Maxx, Market Basket, Lowe's Home Improvement, PetSmart, Mattress Firm. Eating options for just about every taste include QDOBA, Chipotle, MOOYAH Burgers, Subway and fancy sit down dining at 110 Grill. I might have missed some. Huge central parking area is visible from all over. There is good lighting and clearly marked lanes for faster and slower traffic. Still, be aware of your surroundings, leave valuables out of sight when you park and watch for people who don't stop for pedestrians. Retail therapy!

Okay, Alano's as well as Wakefield Center as a whole will bring you back to the 1950's--and…read morequick... It is an old-fashioned looking downtown/center with a lot of the original signs and buildings from a different time...enjoy. Welcome...you are back to the era of Woolworth's and Brigham's (which I am not knocking, as I remember both from childhood). Just setting the scene.... As Rachael made mention of in her review, grandmas would love shopping here (again, not a knock, I love my gramma very much and would take her here anytime!) But, they have stuff for non-grandma-folk too. If I wasn't currently so well-stocked in my wardrobe, I probably would have come out with a few things... ...If the 1950's don't creep you out, you could score here---big time. They have some newer/trendier brands that I know are from TJ Maxx/Marshall's and everything in between all the way over to certified "Mom Jeans" that fit you snuggly and stiffly (they are thick denim) well above the waist. But they are crisp and new and I don't know where they got them! They could sell on Ebay for collectors or fashion historians... Oh...speaking of crisp...I almost forgot...they had all of the ladie's polyester casual pants (circa 1970, like my mom used to wear soooooooooooooooo long ago...) that you could shake a stick at...It made me think that someone might come in in grab them for some play/ period costumes They have men's and children's/baby clothing and it looked good from across the way but I had no desire to investigate. Highlights: Women's sweaters and winter coats were fashionable and veeeeeeeeeeeery cheap! Nice, warm vests.... Some nice purses A plethora of gramma nightgowns, if you are looking for a present for your gramma...

Last time I was here, I spent $50 and got 4 dresses and 3 shirts. I don't want to even think about how much the same stuff would have cost at Nordstrom. WHAT A DEAL!

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.

I can shop their collection online and order in-store pickup which is really convenient. There is always an extra touch with their clothes that gives even their basics added value.

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.
