Top neighborhoods in Somerville

  • Ward Two

    What it’s like to live in Ward Two

    Young professionals appreciate Ward Two's perfect positioning near both Tufts University and the developing Union Square district with its independent restaurants and creative businesses. The neighborhood's triple-deckers and modest apartment buildings offer architectural character at more accessible price points than nearby Cambridge or downtown Boston. Though some streets feature student concentrations with accompanying weekend noise, most blocks maintain quieter residential character suitable for working professionals requiring consistent sleep. The neighborhood's excellent public transportation includes multiple bus routes connecting to broader Boston destinations, while the developing Green Line extension promises improved connectivity in coming years. Winter parking during snow emergencies requires strategic planning, but many residents find Somerville's community character and relative affordability worth occasional logistical challenges.

    Cultural diversity energizes East Somerville, where international markets and restaurants along Broadway create global experiences minutes from downtown Boston. Residents enjoy the neighborhood's affordability compared to other areas so close to Boston, plus excellent public transportation connections via both bus and Orange Line access.

    What it’s like to live in Mystic River

    Riverside transformation defines Mystic River, where Somerville's northern neighborhood combines industrial heritage with ongoing environmental renaissance. The district surrounds the developing Mystic River Reservation with its walking paths and recreation facilities, creating unexpected natural beauty within this urban setting. Though some industrial areas remain active, the residential streets maintain surprising tranquility given proximity to major transportation corridors. The neighborhood's affordability compared to trendier Somerville districts creates compelling value for those prioritizing space and practical amenities over hipster coffee shop proximity, though excellent bus connections provide easy access to Davis Square entertainment when desired.
