About

Bemis

Bemis, located between Watertown Square and Waltham’s Moody Street, is a residential and riverside Watertown neighborhood with a Charles River edge and a low-rise streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Mt Auburn Street and Common Street corridor, where corner markets, bakeries, and small service storefronts set a steady, walkable rhythm. Housing reads as classic New England: wood-frame two- and three-family homes, compact colonials, and tidy porches on narrow lots. The Charles River Greenway and nearby river paths shape daily routines with water views and bike traffic. Watertown Square adds civic energy with the Watertown Free Public Library and the Watertown Savings Bank building. For a local night out, the Arsenal Yards district brings anchors like City Works and Roche Bros. without breaking the neighborhood’s quieter grain.
