Apartments for Rent in Somerville, MA (6,117 Rentals)

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.
