About Ball
Square
Ball Square, located between Davis Square and Magoun Square, is a compact and walkable Somerville neighborhood with a classic main-street strip and a steady café-and-corner-store rhythm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at the Broadway and Holland Street junction, where coffee counters, small restaurants, and late-night bites keep the sidewalks in motion. Sound Bites anchors the block with vinyl bins and in-store sets, while Ball Square Fine Wines and Semolina Kitchen & Bar act as familiar local fixtures. Side streets mix triple-deckers with tidy multifamily homes, and pocket parks break up the dense grid. The Green Line’s Ball Square station adds a transit pulse without changing the low-rise feel.
