Cambridge, Massachusetts

Cambridge today is an important city and suburb of Boston. It has a population of about 101,000 people. Cambridge's history is a checkered one. It was originally an industrial town but a shift was made toward education in the 1920s as manufacturing declined and both Harvard and MIT became major presences along with the addition of many high-tech companies who located in Cambridge. When you start the search for your Cambridge apartment, keep in mind that you will be living in one of the most walkable cities anywhere. Between walking, biking and fantastic mass transportation, you can get anywhere you want without a car. Parking may be difficult so if you do own one, think about where you'll be parking it.

City of Squares

Within the city limits of Cambridge, you'll also find plenty to do. Known as the city of squares, each one has its own identity. Harvard Square is, perhaps, the most famous, but Inman Square with its funky street scene and nightlife, Kendall Square, and Porter Square all give Cambridge a rich diversity and texture. Between the two major universities, you'll find major museums like the Fogg Museum, the Sacklet and the Peabody Museum of Archaeology. And, with Boston just one stop away, you'll have major concert and performing arts venues at your disposal too. There are plenty of parks and outdoor recreational areas, and your Cambridge apartment isn't likely to be far from any of them.

Talk to Mr. Bartley

Cambridge is as much a dining destination as Boston is, and many of the finest restaurants are found around either Harvard or Central Square. Once in your Cambridge apartment, you can be sure that you'll have plenty of choices very near home too. If you feel like splurging, check out Harvest, Upstairs on the Square orOleana should do the trick. More down to earth are Mr. Bartley's Burger Cottage, where they'll practically any kind of burger combination you can dream up, or The Asgard which is famous for Irish/Mexican food. Go try it for yourself!

A Bar With No Sign

Favorite bars range from B-side for old fashioned drinks in a cool atmosphere to the Enormous Room, where you'll need to know there's no sign - just a big neon elephant above the entrance. Toad, Heroes, and Zuzu are great places to check out the live music, but your Cambridge apartment will be close to any number of bars, lounges and clubs. Enjoy your walk!
