I moved into the first floor of a triple decker house in Somerville with my girlfriend who is now my wife, not far from where we went to college. My in-laws owned the building so our rent was low, and my brother-in-law and his wife lived on the second floor; it was kind of a family house. Both my jobs were in nearby Cambridge, and I could easily bike to work. At the time, Somerville was still mostly working class residents, young people, and artists, but now the real estate is very expensive there.
