Situated between Inman and Kendall Squares, Wellington-Harrington is a residential area nestled along the border of funky Cambridge culture in The Port. Here, historic brick buildings share the block with classic triple decker apartments. The neighborhood has a small vibe but actually has a high density with over 7,000 residents living in the area.
Wellington-Harrington offers a diverse selection of restaurants including Brazilian, Korean, Portuguese, and Italian, mainly located along busy Cambridge Street. One of the neighborhood favorites, Muqueca, dishes up Brazilian stew in traditional clay pots in a relaxed atmosphere, while indie and foreign film fans come from all over Cambridge to the Kendall Square Cinema for its screenings.
Donnelly Field lies at the center of the area, where youth teams tee up for baseball and parents take kids to the playground or walk their furry friends. Just a few minutes east, Central Square provides a lively, yet quirky nightlife and eclectic shopping. Wellington-Harrington has a convenient train right to several colleges, including Harvard University and Boston University. The closest is Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which is only a five-minute drive away but walking to campus is doable as well.
If you’re looking for a more close-knit neighborhood with amenities just minutes away, give Wellington-Harrington a try.
