East Somerville combines the quiet charm of historic homes and modern apartments for rent with the activity of an energetic business district. The neighborhood sits less than five miles north of downtown Boston. The transportation hub of Sullivan Square bordering the neighborhood connects commuters to both Boston and Cambridge by bus and subway. There are several small parks for residents to enjoy a breath of fresh air.
The center of East Somerville is Broadway where you can find small businesses and restaurants offering diverse cuisine. Locals love the annual Foodie Crawl held here, which showcases international food options found in this neighborhood. You can try injera at Fasika Ethiopian Restaurant or the meat buffet at Gauchao Brazilian Cuisine. If you are an art lover, check out Mudflat Studios to admire the ceramic creations or try it out yourself by taking a wheel-throwing class in its brightly-lit space.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
