Neighborhood Description The Cedarwood Ave. area is a small neighborhood of cul-de-sacs and circles sandwiched between the back of Brandeis University and I95. The lack of through traffic and the bordering woods make it a quiet, idyllic suburban area. The area provides convenient access to both I95, I90, and downtown Waltham with very little noise (I95 is only barely audible on the edge of the neighborhood closest to the highway, which is on the opposite side from this house). Brandeis is a quiet, well-behaved campus, and its staff parking and chapels border the neighborhood, so students are rarely seen or heard. The neighborhood includes a small playground/field with a basketball half-court and some short trails into the woods. The area is populated mostly by retired couples and younger professionals starting families. Recognized as one of the nicest neighborhoods in Waltham, it provides a Weston-like atmosphere (the next town just across I95) with a third the property taxes along with city sewer and garbage pickup services.
