Write a ReviewFirmly 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.
"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."
