In northeast Somerville along the Mystic River lies the Ten Hills district, located four miles north of downtown Boston. Living in this primarily residential neighborhood gives you easy access to I-93 and the rest of the Boston metro area. Triple-decker homes for rent line the streets, creating a quiet, low-key community. The area is extremely walkable as well.
Ten Hills is close to the commercial district in Assembly Square, which is filled with name brand and luxury stores, a variety of restaurants, and options for entertainment. Head over to Sylvester Baxter Riverfront Park and enjoy gorgeous views of the Mystic River. Residents gather at the park in September to celebrate local musicians and artists at RiverFest. Check out the artisan market, dance to your favorite band, or sit back and relax with treats from the food carts. On warm days, stop by J.P. Licks in Assembly Row to sample homemade ice cream in creative seasonal flavors. If you live an active lifestyle, paddle boarding, kayaking, and canoeing along Mystic River is popular as well.
With multiple bus lines and nearby rail stations available, commuting to other destinations is easy in Ten Hills. Harvard University is only 12 minutes away while Tufts University is just eight minutes away. If you’re yearning for an exciting weekend in an urban jungle, downtown Boston is only 25 minutes away.
