Living in Somerville
Just four miles northwest of Boston, Somerville is a city in Middlesex County, Massachusetts known for its diverse community and unique culture. With an area of just over four square miles, Somerville is the most densely populated municipality in all of New England. With such a dense population, it is even more impressive that The Boston Globe named Somerville the best-run city in Massachusetts and Somerville also received the All-America City Award on three separate occasions.
Somerville’s history dates back to its role in the Revolutionary War, and the historic architecture that remains contributes to the character of the city today. Among Somerville’s rolling hills are several city squares and neighborhoods that are home to unique communities; all of which have something to offer to those who come to Somerville. For instance, those looking for a lively downtown nightlife with live music, clubs, and theaters can enjoy Davis Square while Assembly Square offers large-scale retail, commerce, and interstate access. Whatever it is that brings you to the beautiful city of Somerville, the charming atmosphere will leave a lifelong impression.
