About this Neighborhood
Spring Hill is the part of Somerville that doesn't get name-dropped when people talk about Somerville. The 20-restaurant count is lean for this city; Dunkin' and Wings Over Somerville are doing work that the neighborhood's residential density probably doesn't require. Forge Baking Company and Café Rustica hold the indie-cafe identity against a Starbucks. Five groceries — Get-N-Go, R&R Family Market, Sathi Convenience Store — are functional but thin. Ten parks including Morse-Kelley Playground and Albion Park create real green access. SocialGlue of 77 is the honest number: this is a neighborhood where the longtime residents know each other and the newcomers from the Green Line extension are still being absorbed. Commonwealth CrossFit and Lotus Yoga Studio coexist without visible tension. It's a transitional neighborhood that doesn't know it yet, which is exactly when it's still worth living in.
