The Somerville Market
What Drives Rentals In Somerville
Renters come to Somerville for Tufts University and Mass General Brigham offices and other employers at Assembly Row, and Green Line Extension and Orange Line stations adds another layer of steady demand.
Somerville is one of the most densely populated cities in New England, a short hop from Cambridge and Boston. Young professionals and graduate students fill its triple-deckers and two-family homes, while new transit-oriented buildings cluster around recent Green Line stations.
Our search covers Davis Square, Union Square, Assembly Square, and Ball Square. Small walk-ups, garden communities, and mixed-use buildings with apartments above retail are all in scope.
