Neighborhood

Hillside streets fill the Somerville neighborhood of Spring Hill, which contains many historic buildings dating back to the mid-1800s, including the Somerville Museum. If you don't mind climbing, Spring Hill provides walkable and bike-friendly areas with plenty of amenities sitting within easy reach, as well as sweeping views of Boston and Cambridge from many homes. Nearby Union and Porter Square commercial centers offer diverse eateries and study-friendly cafes. Try vegetarian Indian food at Dosa-n-Curry or get focused with a latte at Simon’s Coffee Shop.

Those who work in Cambridge often choose Spring Hill when looking for an apartment to rent due to its close proximity to the city. Spring Hill is also close to the Ivy League school Harvard University, only a 15-minute walk away and a 10-minute drive, making for an easy commute for students and professors alike. Take a 20-minute drive south on Interstate 93 to reach downtown Boston and enjoy the many amenities of the big city.
