About this Neighborhood
Spring Hill sits in Somerville's interior, far enough from Davis and Union Squares to escape their gravitational marketing pull. Fifty-one restaurants provide real range — the Dunkin' count is honest about who lives here, but Café Rustica and Wings Over Somerville fill in the gaps. Fifteen coffee spots give you Starbucks, Forge Baking Company (which is excellent), and Café Rustica if you know where to go. Eighteen parks is the figure that surprises: Morse-Kelley Playground, Hoyt-Sullivan Playground, Albion Park — a network of small neighborhood parks that add up to more than the sum of their parts. Thirteen fitness studios including Boston Bouldering Project index toward a younger, active demographic. Social Glue at 73 and a nomad score of 100 describe a neighborhood that has absorbed the tech-worker migration without losing its Somerville character. Twelve groceries means you can actually feed yourself without a car.
