What Waltham homes need
Waltham has many two-family homes and older single-families near Moody Street and the Charles River, plus mid-century neighborhoods and newer apartment and lab buildings.
Waltham grew along the Charles River around the Boston Manufacturing Company and the Waltham Watch factory, and neighborhoods such as the South Side, Banks Square, the Highlands and Warrendale reflect that history with many two-families and older single-family homes.
Middlesex County's older cities have many homes with balloon framing and empty walls, while its suburbs have large attics and bonus rooms that leak air.
