Walnut Street could be called the main artery of the village. The urban section of the road is home to restaurants, bakeries, and cafes, several banks, a pet store, multiple fitness centers, and a drycleaner's. The Lizard's Tale, a children's bookstore, is attached to Newtonville Books, the adult section. Newtonville Books is one of the most renowned bookstores in the Metro Boston area. Branching off of Walnut is the Austin Street urban area, which sports a Kabloom Flowers, a Starbucks, and a Goodwill dropoff.

Austin Street's Shaw's Supermarket, formerly Star Market, was one of the first companies in the country to buy airspace for construction; the supermarket straddles the Mass Pike.
