About Harvard Towers

Harvard Towers is in a beautiful setting on a quiet side street just one block from vibrant Massachusetts Avenue, surrounded by picturesque Victorian mansions and period buildings. Ideally located between three of Cambridge's most popular Squares, these homes offer easy access to public transit, shopping, universities, dining, and entertainment, as well as America's oldest university. Residents of Harvard Towers enjoy the convenience of an urban lifestyle and a lovely, historic neighborhood setting. With a seemingly endless supply of overpriced luxury housing in Cambridge, good value has been hard to find. Harvard Towers changes that by offering beautifully remodeled apartments at a moderate price point, without having to compromise on location or amenities. Residents will enjoy the on-site fitness center, underground garage parking, and private balconies and patios often only found in higher-priced buildings. Having just completed a renovation in 2017, Harvard Towers offers the style, and lifestyle, you're looking for. Studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom layouts suit a variety of residential needs. Sleek modern kitchens feature large breakfast bars and stainless steel appliances. Open concept living and dining areas enable a modern and entertainment- friendly lifestyle. And the views- did we mention the views? Among the best around!

Harvard Towers is located in the Mid Cambridge Neighborhood and 02139 Zip code of Cambridge, MA. This community is professionally managed by The Buckminster Group
