Neighborhood

Davis Square is a quirky and vibrant community in Somerville with a major commercial hub. Its main center of action is at the intersection of six streets, encompassed by specialty shops, restaurants, bars, and 200 local businesses.

The Somerville Theatre is a popular place for residents to see a movie on a Friday or Saturday night. October is the month for HONK! Festival, an event where brass bands from across New England come to serenade the crowds with acoustics. It’s not the only music in Davis Square – street musicians are playing everywhere, so expect to jam out on the way to dinner or stepping off the T Station platform.

Residents enjoy the many eateries and coffeehouses along Elm Street, as well as the walking trail at Seven Hills Park.
