Arts, academics and convienent access to downtown Boston
Even though it is right between Tufts University and bustling Davis Square, Teele Square has retained the identity of a quiet urban district in western Somerville. The neighborhood has single and multi-family homes and condominiums, plus a sizable population of college students. “Teele Square is quieter than Davis Square. It’s more out of the way, less expensive and is a back route to Arlington,” says Eric Bornstein, the owner of Behind the Mask Studio. He was born in Boston and has been living in nearby Davis Square for the last 20 years. “You can walk to Harvard Square in 35 minutes down Mass Ave. and you’re also only about four minutes from the T Stop.” Teele Square is just one part of Somerville, which is known to be arts-focused and has a lot to offer for those who are ready to explore it.
The Teele Square neighborhood is popular with students because it's nearby Tufts University.
Teele Square with it's many shops and restaurants is a Boston close neighborhood.

Connecting and creating art in Boston
Somerville is full of arts-influenced squares that breathe culture and life into the area and bringing people from all over the world to live just outside downtown Boston. “I’m an artist and educator specializing in custom masks. I’ve been raising my family here for 20 years,” Bornstein says. “I’ve known the Boston arts scene inside and out from 1980 to the present day. I really love my local artist colleagues and support them as much as I can.” Eric is currently working with the Liars & Believers theatre ensemble and has worked with the Boston Lyric Opera, Boston Ballet’s Nutcracker and Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. “I just gotta say that, while you live here, get out and do the things that are available. There’s lots of free activities here. Get on the Red Line, make friends, make things happen. Don’t stay at home.”

Small parks and the Somerville Music Spaces
Lou Ann David Park includes a paved path throughout its gardens and benches for sitting and enjoying the space. Across from the park is a music studio rental space called Somerville Music Spaces. “We have a big mixture of local, students and professional musicians. It’s so hard to make music out of your home, so we wanted to give locals somewhere they can go,” says Jessica Tybursky, the owner. Her studio has been open since August of 2023 and aims to help local musicians. The studio even has a small recital venue for singer/songwriters. “People can come in and perform small shows. Whether they want to sell tickets or host free events for the community, our space supports a wide variety of things,” Tybursky says. At the south end of the neighborhood, Hodgkins-Curtin Park has a playground and public baseball field.
Lou Ann Park is a perfect distance from Teele Square and serves as a place to play or relax.
