Neighborhood

Directly north of Harvard Square, the city’s iconic cultural hub, Neighborhood Nine holds a premier spot in the heart of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Sitting northwest of Harvard University, America’s oldest university, Neighborhood Nine boasts a diverse population, walkable streets, tree-lined neighborhoods, and unbeatable amenities.

With great public transit, excellent schools, charming residential streets, and a peaceful atmosphere, it’s almost as if this neighborhood is merely a dream. But luckily for you, it’s real (real upscale). This affluent neighborhood is known for its historic homes, nearby Victorian mansions, and rather pricey apartments, though what do you expect from such a notable neighborhood?

Stop by Danehy Park to play at its numerous athletic fields, explore Fresh Pond Mall’s supermarkets and retailers, and shop your way through Porter Square Shopping Center near the Porter transit stop. Numerous restaurants like Bagelsaurus thrive in this supportive community.
