Mid-Cambridge residents live around art, culture and history
Art museums, a distinguished Ivy League university and proud brick buildings draw residents to the Mid-Cambridge neighborhood. This large area features ample sidewalks, plenty of dining spots and access to historic Harvard University. “Mid-Cambridge is an active college town,” says Karen Morgan, a real estate agent at Coldwell Banker Realty with over 38 years of experience. “Students who don’t live on campus rent condos, and faculty members move to the neighborhood to be close to Harvard.” Residents might walk to a local coffee shop before heading to class or work. Some spend their weekends studying art exhibits at the nearby museums or sampling the different dishes at popular restaurants along Massachusetts Avenue. Although Cambridge has been standing since 1630, locals enjoy modern amenities among the historic buildings. “It’s a college town, but there are high-end businesses and biotech companies that students work for after graduating,” says Gary J. Vrotsos, an experienced broker with Gary Vrotsos Realty Services and long-term resident in the area. “People can easily bike around, and we’re close to vacation spots like Cape Cod.”

Residents cozy up in Italianate condos
Brick condo buildings, Queen Anne townhouses and multi-family homes with Italianate designs fill Mid-Cambridge. A limited number of single-family homes with small front yards sit in the neighborhood and often sell for $1.7 million to $4 million. “About 70% of available properties are condos, 15% are single-family homes and the rest are multi-family houses,” Morgan says. A studio condo might sell for $400,000, while a two-bedroom condo can cost $950,000. Residents park their cars on the street, but most walk or bike along the brick sidewalks to get to class or nearby shops. Oak trees stand every few feet on the sidewalks’ edges and coat the ground with colorful leaves every fall.
You're bound to stop and marvel as you walk by some townhomes in Mid-Cambridge.

Humans and canines relax at Joan Lorentz Park
Joan Lorentz Park, which neighbors the Cambridge Public Library, welcomes dog walkers, casual strollers and kids to use the paved pathways, lay on the grass or have fun on the playground. Parents and children who want more shade visit Robert Paine Square Playground to play on the jungle gym or sit at a picnic table under the cover of tall oak trees. The War Memorial Recreation Center also draws in locals from all around with its different programs, such as synchronized swimming and gymnastics.
Joan Lorentz Park has a lot of open space for people to enjoy themselves.

Dining and shopping down Massachusetts Avenue
The nearby Whole Foods Market and Broadway Marketplace give residents easy access to fresh produce, essential groceries and premade meals. A two-story Target sits less than a mile away on Massachusetts Avenue. Mid-Cambridge residents visit the store to restock their pantries and refresh their wardrobes. Those who want more options for shopping and dining head west of Harvard to shop at The Atrium. Residents often start their day with a latte from Broadsheet Coffee Roasters. They also visit Life Alive Organic Café for lunch and get the burger of the month at Boston Burger Company. Multiple coffee shops, diners and eateries line Massachusetts Avenue, giving residents plenty of options when they want to change up their usual breakfast, lunch or dinner routine. “We have lots to choose from, like Italian, Irish and Portuguese restaurants,” Vrotsos says. Morgan and Vrotsos both also recommend Henrietta’s Table.

The T takes residents around the neighborhood
Some residents avoid paying for parking passes by simply walking and biking around the neighborhood. “People can easily use the bike paths to get around the neighborhood or take a 15-minute trip on the train to get into Boston,” Morgan says. Others drive down John F. Kennedy Street to get to Boston. Harvard Street and Boston Street also take residents directly to Harvard when they need to get to class to learn or lecture. The bus system nicknamed “The T” also runs throughout the neighborhood and takes residents to Harvard, Boston and around Mid-Cambridge.

I have lived in Harvard Square for the past 4 years and absolutely love it. We are close to downtown, yet far enough away to feel like i still live in a residential area. The culture in Harvard Square is awesome, it is diverse, safe, and surrounded by academically minded individuals. There is always much to do, from festivals, museums, and different ethnic food to eat.
