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. Although Central Square is filled with eclectic, international cuisines, The Port is home to several of its own diverse eateries as well like Izzy’s Restaurant and Sub Shop, a Puerto Rican sandwich shop. The neighborhood houses Technology Square, a collection of research centers, offices, MIT buildings, and trendy eateries filled with techies taking a lunch break. Just a few blocks away, you can see robots, holograms, and kinetic sculptures in the MIT Museum.
The Port is the perfect place for those looking to be surrounded by culture and admirers of all things art, science, and technology.
