The Town of Somerville Massachusetts

Somerville is a city in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, located just north of Boston. It was established as a town in 1842, when it was separated from the urbanizing Charlestown.

Somerville has a number of squares that are bustling business and entertainment centers, as well as a number of other neighborhoods, including: Assembly Square, Ball Square, Brickbottom District, Davis Square (a.k.a. West Somerville, as in the West Somerville railroad station and post office), East Somerville, Gilman Square (Medford Street and Pearl Street), Inner Belt District, Magoun Square, Nunnery Grounds (Mount Benedict), Powder House Square, Prospect Hill (part of Union Square), Spring Hill, Teele Square, Ten Hills, Tufts, Union Square, Wilson Square, Winter Hill. The Seven Hills are Central, Clarendon, Cobble, Plowed Prospect, Spring and Winter.

Though formally listed as being located in Medford, Tufts University is also located in Somerville. The Somerville–Medford line runs through the Tufts campus. Similarly, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences lists its address in Cambridge but has its main entrance on Beacon Street in Somerville. Somerville is home to a thriving arts community and boasts the second highest number of artists per capita in America.

J. Butler Property Management, LLC. - Who We Are & Why Us?

The Who - J. Butler Property Management (JBPM), LLC. is a family owned and operated Massachusetts based property management company specializing in the five areas of property management described above. JBPM evolved from its parent company, Andover Building & Development Corporation, the first in the family of companies to be focused primarily on designing and constructing luxury residential homes in Andover, Massachusetts.

Over the years, as we have continued to build luxury homes, we have gradually been acquiring properties built by others. The evolution has naturally led us in the direction of third-party management and the creation of our flagship company, J. Butler Property Management, LLC. Now with more than 400 diverse properties under management in our small property division including apartment buildings, condominium complexes and commercial properties, we are proud to be one of the premier property management companies serving the Boston area.

Why Us? - Many people will tell you there are three things in life that keep you grounded:-, family, employment and your home. Whether it happens to be your primary residence or 50-unit apartment building, we all form attachments and care deeply about the property we own. At JBPM we understand this and make a special effort to extend ourselves, to treat each and every property “as if it were our own.” Our combination of old-school family values, integrity, honesty and hard work, together with our cutting edge technology, enables us to provide you with an unparalleled level of service. Be prepared to enjoy a level of communication-, trust and respect that you have never experienced before. Whether we are managing a high-end condominium complex or a single-family home for a family that has relocated, we will always remain true to our core values.

Please feel free to call and discuss with our friendly staff how we can help you better achieve your goals.

We would consider it our privilege to work with you.
