About this Neighborhood

Brickbottom is a historically industrial corner of southeastern Somerville, once all factories, warehouses and rail lines, now softened by an impressive 13 parks and a growing food scene. Thirty-two restaurants and a handful of cafes at 4.8 have given the old district a new, more livable rhythm. The Foursquare mix of parks, dog parks and cafes tells the story of an area finding its second act. Six grocers and a court fill out a neighborhood where warehouse bones now frame open space and good coffee.
