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.

Davis Square
What it’s like to live in Davis Square
Academic vibes pulse through this Tufts-adjacent area where the Somerville Theatre's midnight Rocky Horror screenings test noise ordinances. Renters enjoy quick access to the Davis Square T Station but note 85% of Victorian triple-deckers lack central AC despite sweltering July heat.
