Just six miles north of downtown Boston, Prospect Hill in Somerville offers residents an energetic community filled with independent shops and restaurants. Like many places in Somerville and other nearby communities in Cambridge and Charleston, this neighborhood has rich ties to American history. In the 1700s, George Washington ordered the raising of the first American flag on Prospect Hill Tower, which still stands today.
Several buses run through the neighborhood, connecting workers to Boston and Cambridge without the need for a car. The commercial district centers on Union Square, with many triple-decker homes and apartments for rent packed into the nearby side streets. Locally owned restaurants and bars charm locals and visitors each day. Residents love starting their early mornings with a walk over to award-winning Union Square Donuts to pick up handmade donuts with creative flavors. On the weekends, join friends at Brass Union to play board games and enjoy appetizers in a former police headquarters. Up the street, Thunder Road provides gourmet, music-inspired burgers to munch on while patrons listen to live music. Prospect Hill also hosts several community events throughout the year, including the popular celebration of global culture at the Ignite! festival.
Along with these amazing amenities, Prospect Hill Somerville also houses Somerville High School, one of the best schools in Massachusetts, and a public library. For heightened convenience, the neighborhood is only a six-minute drive to Harvard University and Lesley University. Put Prospect Hill Somerville on your list of prospective new homes if you’re looking for everything you need right in your own community.
