Apartment buildings in the Davis Square area

[anyee.livejournal.com]

I'm debating a move from the Fenway to Somerville to be closer to friends, work, etc. I've gotten really accustomed to living in an apartment building rather than on the second or third floor of a multi-family home. (Various reasons include: I enjoy anonymity, I enjoy an elevator, I enjoy being able to control my heat, etc.)

As far as I can tell, most of the apartment-style buildings I've seen are on major streets above stores or Section 8. Are there any brownstone-ish buildings in more residential areas of Somerville? I'm not so excited about living on Mass Ave.

I lived in a dorm like that. There was insulation of some sort on the pole, but it didn't do a lot. It's a wonder half the dorms at Columbia haven't been condemned.
