Somerville
Has affectionately been dubbed "Poor man's Cambridge" but that is hardly true these days.

Somerville had affectionately been dubbed "Poor man's Cambridge" and but that is hardly true these days. Officially, Somerville is the most densely populated community in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It has an urban feel with several interesting urban squares, Davis being the largest. In this tightly packed city, you will find lots of great restaurants, eclectic neighbors, rail and MBTA access, and none of Cambridge's snootiness. On the other hand, good luck finding off-street parking or getting down half of Somerville's narrow streets in the middle of winter. Historically, Prospect Hill is well known for having the first American Flag raised.
