Cushing Square, located between Belmont Center and Waverley Square, is a residential and commercial Belmont neighborhood with a walkable village core and a commuter-rail edge. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Cushing Square junction at Common Street and Trapelo Road, where small storefronts, corner cafés, and everyday services line the sidewalks. Community pillars include the historic Cushing Square branch of the Belmont Public Library, the long-running Savinos Grill, and the Belmont Gallery of Art at the library. Side streets feature early-20th-century Colonials and multifamily homes with porches and compact yards. Pocket greens and school grounds break up the blocks, while Trapelo Road keeps the pace urban. The setting balances local errands with a straight shot to Cambridge and downtown Boston via nearby rail.
