Neighborhood

Powder House Square neighborhood sits within Somerville a few miles north of Cambridge and Boston. The community derives its name from an 18th century windmill that was later transformed into a gunpowder storage depot that played a major role in the American Revolution. This urban community features apartments in New England style multi-family units. Just a few walkable blocks from the neighborhood's northern border sits Tufts University's primary campus. The neighborhood is also defined by its traffic circle, which contains an island park with benches, pathways, and landscaped shrubbery. While it is largely a residential area, it is home to a number of restaurants and several medical and dental clinics.

Many students and neighborhood residents visit Nathan Tufts Park, where the iconic Powder House is located. Here you can walk your dog or have a picnic under the shade cast by trees hundreds of years old.
