"A beautiful riverfront in Somerville"

The Ten Hills area of Somerville doesn't have ten hills. It's got one! It was named after a colonial farm rather than geological formations. Ten Hills is more or less cut off from the rest of Somerville by I93 - a good and a bad thing.

The neighborhood is up and coming but isn't destined to be as trendy as some of the adjacent areas either. It's still a reasonably priced area, has a lot of big box stores, including IKEA who has contributed big bucks to some of area renewal, and the town is planning some controlled development. What's nice is its location on the Mystic River which gives residents a lot of greenspace and is a very pretty area. Rent a canoe or paddleboat on a summer day. It's great.
