Location
Get Directions
Attractive homes and tree-shaded sidewalks line the streets of West Somerville, a mainly-residential suburban community along Alewife Brook Parkway. The east side of the neighborhood borders the Tufts University campus, making it an excellent location for students, faculty, and staff to find apartments. Large chain grocery stores and corner markets in the community give residents numerous convenient options for grabbing their everyday necessities.
While the close proximity to the university does attract renters from the collegiate demographic, there is plenty for families to appreciate as well: multiple public schools can be found within and around the neighborhood, and the Dilboy sports facilities on the west side are perfect venues for all-ages fun.
