Centered on Union Square and Prospect Hill, 02143 blends historic character and creative energy with walkable, tree-lined streets and classic New England seasons—crisp falls, snowy winters, and warm, breezy summers. Recent Zillow market trends show the median rent in the mid-$3,000s, with most listings ranging from the high $2,000s to low $4,000s depending on size. The vibe is friendly and eclectic, with a mix of long-time residents, grad students, and young professionals. Highlights include Prospect Hill Park’s monument views, Nunziato Field’s dog area, and the lively Bow Market courtyard of indie shops, Remnant Brewing, and Gracie’s Ice Cream. Everyday essentials are easy at Market Basket and Target on Somerville Ave. Coffee and dining shine at Bloc Cafe, Juliet, Celeste, and Bronwyn, while Aeronaut Brewing adds music and nightlife. Brooklyn Boulders and local studios keep fitness close. The Green Line Union Square station, frequent buses, Bluebikes, and bike lanes make commuting to Kendall, Harvard, and downtown simple. Pet friendly, community-forward, and social.
