Somerville Overview

The most densely populated city in all of New England and located just a stone's throw from the hub of Boston, Somerville is a thriving locale on the scenic east coast. Consistently named as the 'Best Run City in Massachusetts' by the likes of the 'Boston Globe' and more, this charming and bustling city is an excellent option for anyone considering a move to the New England region.

What is the history of Somerville?

Officially incorporated in 1872, Somerville experienced tremendous growth soon after, thanks in no small part to a growing infastructure of rail lines, electricity and telegraph connectivity. Brick making, ice distribution and dairy processing all flourished, with the city population rapidly expanding from 10,000 to almost 70,000 in a few short years. A Ford Motor Company addition in the 1920s continued to snowball the popularity of the area, with a wide assortment of buildings seeing construction well into the 1940s. By the 1990s  telecommunication and biotechnology firms dominated the city, and today Somerville apartments tend to cater to a growing artist scene.

How is the weather in Somerville?

New England is known for its distinct seasons, including an often wet spring and plenty of hot, sunny days in the summer. Snow is fairly common in the December-February months, and leaf change colors in the autumn months often produce spectacular color displays. 

How do I get around town?

Bus service is widespread in the city, and most Somerville apartments for rent are reached with ease either on foot or by bicycle. Rail travel options are also plentiful, including direct lines into boston proper, making access to Logan International Airport a breeze. Still, many of those calling Somerville rentals home rely on a private car or truck for getting around on the daily.

What is the Somerville commute like?

Commuting to Boston proper can be a chore, thanks to seemingly endless road construction woes and consistent 9 to 5 prime time hours congestion. McGrath Highway is a major road in the region, and the Northern Expressway crosses the city limits as well, both seeing their fare share of use. Mass. Routes 38 and 28 both also see high use, and those choosing to drive around town might do better to bike or walk on some days.

What are the local media outlets?

Somerville apartment residents will have no shortage of news outlets at their fingertips, including the famous 'Boston Globe' and the 'Somerville Times'. Boston Free Radio as well as the public radio program 'Living on Earth' are both recorded in the city, with a number of major network broadcasting affiliates such as CBS also found with ease. Other formats dominating the airwaves include classic rock, modern R&B, and sporting news.

Why live in Somerville, MA?

Home to the lauded Tufts University as well as a number of grounded industries in the healthcare and technology fields, Somerville apartments for rent make an ideal choice for anyone considering a fresh start in the proud state of Massachusetts. From public park land to exciting nightlife options, this on-the-move east coast destination has much to offer wide array of lifestyles, budgets and employment needs.

What Somerville landmarks should I see?

Take in the impressive sight of the stately Somerville City Hall, or stroll the tree-lined trails of the Somerville Community Path, both an easy reach from numerous New England rentals. The Somerville Theatre and PA's Lounge both continue to provide live performance nightly to city dwellers, and Joy Street Studios is the spot for perusing numerous works of art.

What is there to do around Somerville?

Cheers on the home team at George Dilboy Memorial Stadium, or spend an afternoon learning about the days gone by with a visit to the Somerville Museum. Steve's Ice Cream is a great way to get to know your new neighbors over a cone, and a cruise on the Charles River Bike Path makes an excellent way to unwide after a long day.

Any annual festivals or Somerville events to know?

The annual Fluff Festival helps celebrate the creation of the tasty marshmellow treat, and Starlabfest brings together artistic creatives from all over the state each year, both located within walking distance from numerous Somerville apartments for rent. 

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Hit the beaches of Cape Cod, complete with their famous lobster rolls, or spend a weekend at a Red Sox game while experiencing all of the art galleries and museums that Boston has to offer. Portland, Maine is yet another escape within driving distance, home to legendary clam chowder and a thirving live comedy scene.

Where is the best place to move in Somerville?

From the luxurious New England rentals of Powder House Square to the blue-collar family district of Duck Village, Somerville apartments are as diverse as the proud residents that call them home. Start your search today and start seeing what Massachusetts has in store for you!
