Newton

This is the city’s bustling banking and business center, full of gleaming skyscrapers that compete for a view of Bailey Harbor and the ocean beyond.

Demographics

Apartments are available, but expensive. For rich executives who don’t want the bother of an entire Hillvale estate, a Newton penthouse is the next best thing.

Points of interest

The Pinnacle Bank building is the city’s tallest skyscraper, an elegant, art-deco spire that stretches into the clouds. It’s the geographic center of Newton and was the catalyst for the neighborhood’s redevelopment a decade ago. Now it’s actually one of the older buildings in the neighborhood, so its lower-level offices have reasonable rents. The upper floors, however, are the most expensive office space in the city.
Resko Field is the city’s multipurpose stadium, and it’s full on most nights during caidball season (when the city’s pro team and both college teams play) and the summer Rounders season (if the Monarchs rounders team is in town). Bars and restaurants dominate the cityscape for blocks in every direction.
The Commonwealth government building has its offices at McCulloch Place, a nearly featureless black skyscraper just a block away from the Pinnacle building. Most of the upper floors are heavily guarded and off-limits to the public. The Commonwealth Investigative Department (CID) and other agencies with law enforcement roles have extensive offices here. Though the Pinnacle Building is taller, any city resident can confirm that the McCulloch Building casts a longer shadow.
