The pulse of Somerville’s center
Only 5 miles from downtown Boston lies Davis Square, an area that many consider the core of Somerville. The neighborhood is not only a center for transportation, where five roads converge alongside the Davis Red Line T station, but it is also a center for dining, home to dozens of restaurants and bars. “The presence of the Red Line, as well as the fact that it has a bustling street life informed by the movie theater, cafes and grocery stores, turned it into the city center for the city of Somerville. It has a pulse,” says Charles Cherney, a Realtor with the Charles Cherney team at Compass in Somerville and nearby Cambridge, who has served the area since 1999. Davis Square is surrounded by a number of multiunit homes and condos with a series of neat sidewalks connecting residents to parks and schools.
Davis Square offers countless amenities and food options for residents.
Davis Square is located just West of Boston.

Davis Square’s rainbow of dining options
Davis Square has many longtime businesses and dining options supported by locals and nearby Cambridge and Boston residents. Rosebud Bar & Kitchen “is a charming vintage diner that recently has become a wonderful gastro-Indian restaurant,” says Brett Sillari, a Realtor with Senné who has served Boston for over seven years. Additional area restaurants include the Boston Burger Company, which was featured on "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives," and Mortadella Head, which serves a mix of classic Italian traditions and unique and modern recipes. Nights in Davis Square often end at The Burren, an Irish pub Sillari says is known for live music at night. Somerville Theatre, originally built in 1914 for stage shows, vaudeville, opera and movies, now screens films and hosts live concerts. Groceries are available at the nearby Star Market, or at the Davis Square Farmers Market on Wednesdays between May and November.
There are plenty of seats at the bar at Foundy On Elm in Davis Square.
Mortadella Head in Davis Square is well-known for its pizza and sandwiches.

Somerville’s core MBTA station
Davis Square has been the nucleus of Somerville since the Red Line T-station opened in the 1980s. The Davis Square station provides direct access to the Red Line and several Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority bus routes. With the recent addition of the Green Line to the area, commuting options have only increased for residents heading downtown. “The area is a wonderful commuting location for public transit and bikers alike,” Sillari says. From Davis, residents can take Massachusetts Avenue into Cambridge and then Boston, or access Route 3 and Route 2, which runs west to I-95. Boston Logan International Airport is less than 9 miles away and Cambridge Health Alliance’s Somerville Campus is 1 mile away.
Living in or around Davis Square makes commuting in and out of the city easy.
Davis Station gives you fast access to nearby towns through the Red Line.

Porchfest
While residents can head to downtown Boston for events like the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade, Somerville is known for Porchfest. Porchfest is an outdoor celebration of music where bands from all around the city come to play. Every genre of music is represented, including classical and techno. This community event features over 100 bands performing at various spots around the city, from local businesses to people’s front lawns. The festival also features a number of food and drink vendors driving around the different venues.
Relaxing in Somerville’s shade
Kenney Park is a playground with a basketball court, a fitness area, swings and a paved area set aside for chalk-drawing that is only one block away from the center of Davis Square.

Condos and multiunit Somerville homes
Because of the short commute into Boston, Davis Square is considered a “a wonderful area to rent,” Sillari says. There are apartments, townhouses and condo options throughout the densely packed neighborhood. While most of the neighborhood has multiunit homes and condos, homebuyers can find Queen Anne and Boston triple-decker homes alongside Cape Cod and some Colonial Revival homes. Prices can commonly range from $650,000 to $2.1 million, with almost every home within walking distance of the T station costing at least $1 million.
