    "There are no community events that make the neighborhood special unfortunately. The area around Sullivan Square is very different from the rest of Somerville "

    "Lots of city $$$ upgrading the streets, zoning, shopping, etc. Starbucks, LegoLand, Brooks Brothers, waterfront are all 5-10 min walk away. Great access to 93 or the T, buses. Becoming bike friendly."
