Somerville
The City of Somerville is a small business and residential
haven of approximately four square miles. It is ideally
located adjacent to Boston, one-and-a-half miles from the
city's financial and commercial districts.
Somerville can aptly be described as a gateway to Eastern
Massachusetts. Immediate access is available to routes 1, 2,
16, 28, 38, 90 and 128 and to Interstate 93 and 95.
Somerville is also just 3.5 miles from Boston's Logan
International Airport. The T.F. Green Airport in Providence
is less than an hour away.
Somerville is extremely accessible to public transportation.
The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) subway
service is easily available throughout the city and offers
access to Boston and other communities. In addition, 14
different bus lines travel through the city.
A Wide Spectrum of Services
The City of Somerville offers a wide spectrum of services
for its residents and businesses. The community's electrical
and energy needs are served by the Boston Edison Company,
Boston Gas and Commonwealth Gas. Somerville's municipally
owned water and sewer system successfully provides residents
with some of the lowest rates in the Greater Boston area.
Somerville was the first community in the Commonwealth to
offer residents a choice in cable television providers.
Today, RCN Corporation, AT&T Broadband and Bell Atlantic all
service Somerville via an advanced fiber-optic network.
Culture, Restaurants and Shops
Throughout this compact, vibrant community over 50 different
languages are spoken and over 15 religions are practiced.
The international flavor of Somerville guarantees that you
will feel at home. Diversity is a key component of
Somerville's attractiveness to residents and business
owners.
Somerville's array of restaurants offers samples of cuisine
from all over the world. Both Union Square and Davis Square
are dining and entertainment destinations for Greater
Boston. And of course, you are just minutes from the array
of cultural opportunities in Boston and Cambridge. (Source:
