About Ward

Two

Ward Two, located between Union Square and Porter Square, is a residential and commercial Somerville neighborhood with triple-decker streetscapes and pocket parks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Union Square Plaza and Somerville Avenue corridor, where indie cafes, small galleries, and chef-driven counters cluster beside longtime storefronts. Bow Market acts as a compact hub for local makers and food stalls in a courtyard setting. The Somerville Theatre adds marquee-lit culture a short walk away, pairing repertory film with live shows. Side streets mix late-19th-century wood-frame homes with brick apartment blocks, while the Community Path threads a bike-and-walk spine through the area. Seasonal programming at Union Square’s public spaces keeps the calendar active without changing the lived-in feel.
