Ten Hills

Score Breakdown

About this Neighborhood

Ten Hills sits in Somerville's northeast corner, a roughly 50-acre wedge bounded by the Mystic River and shaped by a single central hill. It's the greenest kind of dense: nine parks anchor a neighborhood that leans residential and quiet, with clean air (AQI 41) and a strong 85 Walk Score keeping daily life on foot. Next door to Assembly Square, the retail energy shows up in the Foursquare mix — outlet stores, boutiques, and home furnishings within easy reach. Eighteen restaurants and five grocery options cover the essentials, so the calm never comes at the cost of convenience.
