I’m seriously considering moving to Somerville but I’m trying not to get fooled by the perfect sunny version you see online. Between old Reddit threads, reviews streetsmart and random apartment listings, it feels like every area has a totally different reality once you actually live there. For people who’ve lived in OC, what are the honest pros and cons, especially with rent and landlords and whether the newer expensive apartments are actually worth it?
