Middlesex County · 02143 · Dense, Creative & Connected
Walkable squares, a celebrated food-and-arts scene, and now full Green Line access — Somerville is one of Greater Boston’s most dynamic cities.
About the Town
Somerville is a dense, energetic city of about 81,000 in Middlesex County, just 3 miles northwest of Boston. It revolves around its squares — Davis, Union, Assembly, and more — each with its own restaurants, breweries, and independent culture.
The Green Line Extension added several new stations, making transit-oriented living easier than ever and keeping this city among the region’s most in-demand markets.
Classic triple-deckers and two/three-family homes dominate, along with condos and new transit-oriented developments — great for both buyers and investors.
