Top neighborhoods in Cambridge

  • North Cambridge

    North Cambridge

    What it’s like to live in North Cambridge

    Academic energy radiates through North Cambridge, where historic triple-deckers and converted factory lofts house a mix of students, professors, and young professionals. Residents enjoy the vibrant Porter Square's Japanese markets and independent bookstores, with the Red Line providing quick access to Harvard, MIT, and downtown Boston. The neighborhood's community gardens create green space gathering points, though winter parking during snow emergencies requires careful planning. Bike lanes throughout make car-free living practical despite New England weather challenges.

    Neighborhood Nine

    What it’s like to live in Neighborhood Nine

    Intellectual energy defines Neighborhood Nine, where Cambridge's northwestern district offers quieter alternatives to Harvard Square's intensity. The area features distinctive architecture from Victorian to Colonial Revival, while nearby Porter Square provides practical amenities within walking distance. Though rental rates reflect Cambridge's overall premium market, the neighborhood offers better space-to-price value than Harvard-adjacent districts while maintaining similar access to the city's academic institutions and cultural amenities through excellent transit connections.

    Riverside

    What it’s like to live in Riverside

    Intellectual energy defines Riverside, where housing near Harvard and MIT attracts academic professionals and graduate students seeking quieter alternatives to undergraduate-dominated districts. The neighborhood borders the Charles River with its popular running paths, sailing opportunities, and spectacular Boston skyline views. Though rental rates exceed suburban alternatives, many residents find the elimination of commuting time creates value beyond basic housing considerations. The area's excellent public transportation includes multiple bus routes and Red Line access to both Boston employment and broader Cambridge destinations without vehicle dependency. The primary consideration remains parking challenges, particularly during winter snow emergencies when availability becomes further restricted through plowing operations.
