Restaurants, cafés, and bars line the square and surrounding streets; shops and everyday services add to the lively mix. Public art and cultural events give the district an arts presence, while nearby Prospect Hill Park has walking paths and city views. The Somerville Public Library’s East Branch and neighborhood playgrounds provide indoor and outdoor gathering places. Union Square neighborhood rental listings have a median rent of $3,375 per month and a typical range of $900 to $7,500.
