Welcome to Somerville

Somerville is located just north of Boston and next to Cambridge and has a population of about 77,000. It is a residential neighborhood with an industrial past, which includes one special legacy; the invention of the marshmallow crème that we lovingly call “Fluff.”
 
Somerville was often referred to as “Slummerville,” referring to its history of crime and ties to James “Whitey” Bulger and the “Winter Hill Gang.” Today, the area has reemerged as a popular destination for professionals and families. The neighborhood is primarily comprised of single-family and multi-family homes, many of which have been converted into condominiums. 
 
Popular established neighborhoods include Davis Square and Porter Square, as well as Union Square which is undergoing a large-scale redevelopment, thanks in part to a new Green Line station. The section of Somerville which is above Route 93 is also being reinvented as Assembly Square, complete with a shopping district, rental and condominium housing as well as medical, lab, and office space.
