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.
