Winter Hill, Somerville, Massachusetts


 

Located roughly north of Highland Avenue in Somerville, Massachusetts, Winter Hill is home to a number of lovingly restored homes. Once known as the home base of Irish gangster Whitey Bulger (currently on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list) and his notorious Winter Hill Gang, Winter Hill is now, like much of the rest of Somerville, experiencing gentrification and a resulting rise in property values and rents. Despite these changes, the area continues to hang onto its neighborhood flavor and is home to a large community of Brazilians, Portuguese, Cape Verdeans, and other ethnic groups. Soccer is a popular pastime, and it is not uncommon to see leagues complete with matching uniforms playing in the large park at the base on Winter Hill.
