Ten Hills and Prospect Hill Among 'Hot' Urban Housing Markets, Says Report

The Boston Business Journal ranked the state's most in-demand urban housing markets, and Somerville neighborhoods made the grade.

Somerville's Ten Hills and Prospect Hill neighborhoods are among the most in-demand urban housing markets in Massachusetts, according to Boston Business Journal.

In doing so, it discovered "strong momentum" in neighborhoods that "have historically struggled with higher unemployment, crime and foreclosure rates."
