Somerville

Good friends live there and I can see why—comfortable, lots to do, huge immigrant population from all over the globe. Seems like a solid mix and match for those who have eyes to see! Easy enough to get into the center of Boston as well, which is of course always a plus. Wouldn’t mind going back.

Born and raised here. I loved growing up here, it’s near everything you need and away from everything you don’t. It’s changed a lot since then, though, and I’ve since moved to NH.

You have to love a working-class city that also has a large grad student/junior faculty population.

its proximity to Boston. You can just hop on the T and avoid all the other nonsense trying to get into the city.

I live in Union Square—Prospect Hill, to be more exact: site of the raising of the first flag to represent all 13 colonies as one, on Jan. 1, 1775.
