Cambridge

 

Across the Charles River from Boston, Cambridge is a beautiful up-scale town boasting all the charm of the south. It is home to the vast campuses of MIT and Harvard University which add to the prestige and high regard of the city. Cambridge homes are highly sought-after due to the amazing features the city has to offer.

 

Cambridge is primarily seen as a scholar’s city. With two of the most world-renowned universities based here, the city has become the center for academics, students and professionals who flock here to experience the best that Massachusetts can offer. Cambridge has a variety of housing options from apartments to condos and family homes. Harvard University and MIT area houses are especially popular among students and staff from these institutions because it makes it easier to commute between their residence and the schools.

 

While the Cambridge rental market can be quite challenging and competitive, you could consider looking in Porter Square, Harvard Square and Central Square for homes that not only offer great amenities but also a convenient transport system. They lie on the main Massachusetts Avenue transportation corridor which is a regular route for the MBTA’s buses and commuter rails.
