Somerville

Tucked between the Mystic River and Cambridge, Somerville is a city whose character is shaped by compact, closely connected neighborhoods and public transit. Just north of Boston, it combines residential streets with busy squares that serve as local meeting points. Davis Square is known for independent restaurants, music venues and the Somerville Theatre, while Union Square has long been a commercial center with strong immigrant roots. On Prospect Hill, the Grand Union Flag was raised in 1776 during the American Revolution. Along the Mystic, Assembly Row has transformed a former industrial waterfront into a district of shops, restaurants and public space.
