Somerville

Quick Comments:  University Students, Affordable,  

Transportation:  Red Line trains, and buses


Somerville contains a large student population due to its close proximity to Harvard University and Tufts University. It is ideally located near Boston, 1.5 miles from the city‘s financial and commercial districts, and it has affordable housing. 

Somerville is accessible via public transportation with buses and Red Line trains. A new Orange Line train station is being built in Assembly Square, an area of Somerville that is undergoing housing and shopping development.

It is recommended that you rent/lease an apartment in this neighborhood after you arrive in the U.S. and can evaluate the area.
