With nearly 20 thousand residents per square mile, Somerville is the most densely populated municipality in New England. There’s no question as to why, especially since Somerville has been named “the best of” for several things, including the Best-Run City in Massachusetts and receiving the All-American City Award. In addition to a landscape dense with multi-family homes, Somerville is home to Tufts University, restaurants, and bustling areas like Davis Square.

In early Somerville, land was primarily used for grazing and raising livestock. Farmhouses and colonials were the most common types of architecture, which could house prominent families on large land plots. After railroads became the norm in the mid-1800s, industrialization changed the landscape so that most land transformed into railyards and other significant land uses.

Even amid development, historic towns like Somerville still have plenty of character—which also means old housing and land that may be prone to unwanted pests. The good news is that Greenhow offers comprehensive pest control plans to get rid of any pests around your property.
