Know your Somerville home
Somerville is one of the most densely populated cities in New England, and its housing is dominated by two-family homes and triple-deckers from the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Neighborhoods like Davis Square, Union Square, Spring Hill, Winter Hill and Ten Hills are filled with two-families and triple-deckers on small lots, often converted to condos. Shared attics and basements mean we coordinate with every owner before work starts and plan the job so each unit benefits.
In western Middlesex County, many homes were built during the post-war and 1980s building booms, and their original insulation has settled over the decades.
