Located right next to the renowned Central Square, The Port is a small urban neighborhood perfect for artists, hipsters, tech geeks, college students, or anyone looking to rent an apartment in a diverse, exciting community. The Port is filled with city landscapes, but Clement Morgan Park and Greene-Rose Heritage Park provide lush greenery in this urban jungle. The Community Art Center and the Cambridge Graffiti Wall (in Central Square) are just two examples of the works fueled by inspired local artists. The Port is within walking distance of the renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a short drive to Harvard University and Boston University.
The Port is right on the border of Central Square, giving access to a plethora of old-school record stores, quirky shops, trendy bars, indie music venues, and low-key pubs. This unique culture feeds into The Port as well. Hot spots like the Miracle of Science Bar & Grill and The Automatic mold a thrilling, fascinating nightlife.
