    "It’s not unique. Winter Hill is the least developed neighborhood in Somerville. There are a couple of pizza places, a liquor store, Walgreens and a couple of banks. After 7pm, no one is out. "

    "Easy access to I-93, but can be a wait to merge into on-ramp in morning. It’s a short bus ride to Davis Square or Sullivan Square T stations to go into Boston. Green line will be nearby soon, but not soon enough. "
