North Cambridge Townhome for Sale

North Cambridge, the northernmost area of Cambridge, is known for its neighborhood feel and historic charm. The area features Victorian and Colonial Revival homes from the late 1800s and early 1900s, alongside some new builds. Housing options include condominiums, single-family homes, and multi-family homes, with most sales being for condos, often converted from classic homes. North Cambridge is well-connected with two Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority stations: Alewife on the northeast end and Porter on the southern end, both on the Red Line. Porter Station also offers commuter rail access and is adjacent to Porter Square Shopping Center, which includes a Star Market, CVS Pharmacy, Michaels, and nearby Target. Dining options along Massachusetts Avenue include Sugar & Spice Thai Restaurant and Frank's Steak House, the oldest steakhouse in Greater Boston. Outdoor activities are abundant with the Alewife Linear Park trail, Alewife Brook Reservation, and Pemberton courts for tennis and basketball. The neighborhood is served by highly rated schools, including Peabody School for prekindergarten through fifth grade, Rindge Avenue Upper School for grades six to eight, and Somerville High School for grades nine to twelve. North Cambridge has a crime rate lower than the national average, making it a safer area for residents.
