Neighborhood

Located in a bustling commercial district in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the neighborhood of West Cambridge is a thriving urban area that’s filled with family-friendly destinations. Most notable for its direct access to Harvard Square, a famous shopping, dining, and entertainment hub, locals have all of the local restaurants, specialty shops, and ornate theaters to choose from like the Jose Mateo Ballet Theatre.

The MBTA runs several bus lines to the area, giving commuters connections to the red line Harvard Square Station that takes them to other parts of the city. Though West Cambridge has immediate access to everything that’s offered in the city of Cambridge, including Harvard University and its attractions, West Cambridge is only six miles from Boston, so the options for food, retail, sports, and entertainment are endless.
