10 properties to rent or buy less than a mile from the new Union Square Green Line station
Just in time for the return to office, a new Green Line station has arrived in Somerville. Here are 10 properties within a mile of the stop.

The Green Line has finally found a home in Somerville’s Union Square.
The first subway car rolled out of the long-awaited station early Monday morning, marking the fulfillment of a more than 30-year promise from the state to mitigate the impacts of the Big Dig on transit in the neighborhood.
The new Union Square Station is good news for those seeking an easier commute into the city, but for longtime residents, there’s concern about the impact it could have on housing costs. The neighborhood was already facing gentrification, and now “the changes are coming quicker,” Katie Johnston of the Boston Globe reported.
