Cambridge Overview

Firmly located in the greater Boston region, Cambridge is a gem of the proud state of Massachusetts. Home to both Harvard University and MIT, this scholarly destination is known for so much more than higher learning, making it an ideal locale in which to raise a family or embark on a career.

What is the history of Cambridge?

Steeped in history, George Washington himself is said to have traversed Cambridge in 1775, but it was the construction of the West Boston Bridge in 1787 that truly helped the city come into its own. The addition of the Middlesex Canal in the early 1800s helped expansion across Cambridge continue, and the region thrived well into the 1900s as a base of industry for candy, steam engines and more.

How is the weather in Cambridge?

Cambridge apartment residents can expect to enjoy warm summers and crisp, pleasant autumns. Winter can be typically 'New England' in scope, meaning snow is commonplace and can occasionally reach heavy accumulations. Springs tends to be rainy and mild.

How do I get around town?

The green and red lines of the area commuter rail both serve Cambridge, and bus service and even a trolley also continue to run throughout the city. A number of bicycling paths have been added in recent years, including numerous near the scenic Charles River, and Logan International Airport is the primary hub for flights. Ride-sharing services such as Lyft have also proven popular, and taxis are always an easy catch within the city.

What is the Cambridge commute like?

A number of major highways lead in and out of the city, making Cambridge apartments ideal spots for Boston commuters to call home. Route 2, the McGrath Highway and Route 16 all crisscross the region, and close to a dozen bridges lead in and out of greater Cambridge. Given the historic nature of many of the streets, traffic can get congested with ease, and yearly road construction does little to curb the delays. Boston commuters often experience lengthy drives, especially during peak morning and afternoon rush hours, leading many Cambridge apartment residents to rely upon public transportation.

What are the local media outlets?

The 'Cambridge Chronicle' is the primary print newspaper for the city, and a trio of college radio stations dominate the airwaves including WHRB and WJIB. Additionally, CCTV is the public access broadcasting for the Cambridge community, and most national affiliates such as NBC and CBS are readily available as well.

Why live in Cambridge, MA?

"Basking in history and home to ""the most innovative square mile on the planet"" (Kendall Square), Cambridge rentals have much to offer and have become highly sought-after pieces of property. Ivy league college students flock to the area, given its home to Harvard, and the greater Boston job market is just a short rail ride away. When it comes to life in a Massachusetts city, Cambridge simply hits the mark on all counts."

What Cambridge landmarks should I see?

The Harvard Museums of Art and Natural History are among two of the most lauded in the nation, and the Peabody Museum of Archeology is known the world over for its prized collection. Architecture is on full display in the city, and marvels such as the Asa Gray House and The First Parish attract spectators from miles around.

What is there to do around Cambridge?

Catch some live music at notable venue The Middle East Club, get your yuks at the Comedy Studio, or simply enjoy a good book at one of Cambridge's numerous public parks. The Nameless Coffeehouse is a hot spot for many students and Cambridge apartment residents, offering hot cups of brew and many open mic nights, while countless restaurants offer delectable dishes every night of the week.

Any annual festivals or Cambridge events to know?

The Regattabar Jazz Festival has become a staple of the Cambridge music scene, and the Dragon Boat Festival is as exciting and colorful as the name would lead you to believe. The Cambridge Science Festival attracts scholastic fans from states away each and every year, and the annual Boston Marathon is well worth cheering about.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Gas up the car and hit the scenic beaches of Cape Cod, known for its exciting whale watches and tasty seafood, or get historic with a trip to Salem or Plymouth. The wilds of upstate New York make a fantastic weekend getaway as well, and Maine lobster is just a few hours drive.

Where is the best place to move in Cambridge?

From Porter Square to Inman, any number of neighborhoods are sure to cater to would-be Cambridge apartment residents. Whether you are a student on the go or a working class family person, Cambridge rentals are sure to fit the bill. Happy hunting!
