Quiet historic neighborhood of Cambridge
Along the banks of the Charles River, Cambridgeport's port and industrial roots have developed into populous residential blocks. Bordered by the river and Magazine Beach to one side and the active commercial center of Cambridge Square to the other, Cambridgeport ensures residents have access to many of Cambridge’s urban amenities without losing touch with nature. Boasting proximity to Cambridge employment hubs like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard, a 3-mile commute into downtown Boston and a bridge crossing away from the Longwood Medical Area, Cambridgeport positions residents in a cozy, neighborhood atmosphere with ample access to the many urban hubs of Boston.

More room in Cambridgeport
Many of Cambridgeport’s residents live in large, historic single-family homes built in the 1860s through 1930s which were renovated into multi-family dwellings. Two- and three-story attached and detached homes with charming architectural details like Mansard roofs or protruding bay windows frequently house a handful of condos, selling for $650,000 to $1.5 million. Entire single-family homes positioned a few yards away from their neighbors range from $1 million to $3 million. “Cambridgeport has more greenery, room between houses, yard space and available parking than other similarly priced Cambridge neighborhoods,” says Bernadine Tsung-Megason, senior vice president at Compass with 10 years of real estate experience in the Cambridge area. Red brick and cement sidewalks connect Cambridgeport’s closely plotted blocks, overhung by mature trees and bordered by street-parked cars.

Shopping, dining and “coffee around the corner”
Groceries and daily essentials are easily accessible to residents, with Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods and Walgreens all positioned on the western side of Cambridgeport. “The restaurants and coffee shops are spread around, and that makes it feel like a neighborhood,” says Tsung-Megason of the local dining scene. “You see neighbors walking dogs and pushing strollers to go get bagels around the corner.” Cambridge Pizzeria is a local favorite for a quick slice and classic pizza joint ambiance, while Flour Bakery + Cafe provides residents with a casual, elegant space to catch up on work and enjoy specialty sandwiches and pastries. More extensive dining and specialty shopping options can be found just to the northeast of Cambridgeport in Cambridge Square.

Scattered green spaces and Magazine Beach
Cambridgeport is dotted with small community parks like Dana Square Park and Pacific Street Park which provide the surrounding blocks with short, tree-shaded walking paths and the occasional playground or soccer field. The area’s largest park is Magazine Beach, an expansive green area along the Charles River lined by walking paths and shady trees where community members can often be found running along the river or swimming in the free outdoor swimming pool. The Riverside Boat Club launches competitive and recreational rowers into the river and has done so since 1869.
