On the weekends, join friends at Brass Union to play board games and enjoy appetizers in a former police headquarters. Up the street, Thunder Road provides gourmet, music-inspired burgers to munch on while patrons listen to live music. Prospect Hill also hosts several community events throughout the year, including the popular celebration of global culture at the Ignite! festival.

Along with these amazing amenities, Prospect Hill Somerville also houses Somerville High School, one of the best schools in Massachusetts, and a public library.
