Somerville is underrated, change my mind

I keep seeing people overlook Somerville when talking about great places to live. With a population of 80,549, it's big enough to have everything you need but small enough to feel like a community. There are tons of parks and outdoor spaces. Weather is moderate — about 52F average.

Public transit needs work but they're investing in it. Should improve in next few years.

Check out the Eastside area. Way more affordable and still close to everything.

I've lived in Downtown for 3 years and it's still one of the best decisions I made.

I've lived in Northside for 4 years and it's decent, has its pros and cons.

I work in logistics and finding a job wasn't hard. Took about 4 months.

Great post! One thing I'd mention is the west side tends to be more affordable. Makes a big difference.

Downtown is overrated and overpriced. The suburbs offer way better value.
