    Somerville: The Impact of the Green Line Extension (GLX) in 2024

    It's been over a year since the GLX fully opened, and the transformation of Somerville is undeniable. If you're an investor or homeowner, the 'transit premium' is real.

    The GLX Effect

    • Property Values: Neighborhoods like Gilman Square and Magoun Square have seen significant equity jumps now that they are 'on the T.'
    • New Development: The growth in Union Square is bringing luxury condos and labs, boosting local amenities.
    • Rentability: Apartments within 0.5 miles of a new stop have almost zero vacancy rates.
