Unit Description
Flexible Lease Terms — Academic Calendar Aligned. Lease terms structured around the academic year, with two options available: Option 1: 16-Month Lease — Summer 2026 + Academic Year 2026–2027 + Summer 2027 A longer-term lease beginning May 2026 and running through August 2027, covering this summer, the full 2026–2027 academic year, and the following summer. Ideal for tenants who want to move in early, remain in place through the academic year, and hold the unit through the following summer without needing to re-lease or relocate. Offers maximum continuity for multi-summer researchers, visiting scholars on extended appointments, or families planning a longer Cambridge stay. Option 2: 12-Month Lease — May 2026–April 2027 or June 2026–May 2027 A standard 12-month lease beginning May 1 or June 1, 2026, and running twelve months through the following April or May. This option aligns with the academic calendar, allowing tenants to move in at the close of the spring semester, settle over the summer, and be fully established before the fall term begins. Ideal for tenants seeking year-round housing stability and a clean transition between academic years. Renewals are welcomed and can be structured to align with subsequent academic years, providing long-term continuity for tenants planning multi-year stays in Cambridge. Ideal for affiliates of Harvard, MIT, Harvard Kennedy School, Harvard Business School, Harvard Law School, Harvard Medical School, Lesley University, and other Cambridge and Boston-area academic and research institutions.
