The community
Cambridge sits directly across the Charles River from Boston and is home to two of the world's most important universities — Harvard and MIT — along with a dense cluster of life sciences and technology employers in Kendall Square, Central Square, and Alewife. That concentration of academic and corporate demand has made Cambridge one of the most expensive and competitive housing markets in New England.
The Cambridge real estate market spans historic single-families in West Cambridge and around Brattle Street, mid-century and modern condos near Harvard and Central Squares, and newer high-rise construction in Kendall and East Cambridge. Inventory is chronically tight and turnover is fast — well-presented condos in walkable neighborhoods often see multiple offers within days.
