The Monadnock Road Historic District is a residential historic district encompassing a cohesive subdivision of a former estate in the 1920s in the Chestnut Hill section of Newton, Massachusetts. The district includes 63 houses, primarily on Monadnock Road, but also include properties on Tudor Road, Hammond Street, Hammondswood Road, Wachusetts Road, and Hobart Street. About half the district was laid out in the 1924 subdivision of the estate of Louis Liggett, a drug store magnate. The most common architectural style in the district is the Tudor Revival, although the Colonial Revival and Craftsman styles are also represented. The houses are generally large, well-proportioned, and of high quality. The district abuts the Gray Cliff Historic District.[2]

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
