Property Description
Harvard Square is a popular destination for students, locals, and tourists alike, offering everything from trendy coffee shops and upscale dining to street performers and cultural events. It’s also a hub for public transportation, with the Harvard Square T Station connecting residents to Boston and beyond via the Red Line. The Charles River is just a short walk away, providing a scenic escape with trails for walking, running, and cycling.
The area is a true mix of the academic and the artistic, blending Cambridge’s historic roots with a forward-thinking vibe that attracts innovators, scholars, and artists from around the world. Harvard Square is a plaza at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Brattle Street, in the heart of Cambridge. Right next to Harvard Square is the Harvard Yard, and the square thus has a distinct college town character as the commercial center for Harvard University with iconic red brick lining the streets. It is easily accessible by the MBTA Red Line’s Harvard stop. Nearby is the JFK Memorial Park, the Cambridge Common, and the original birthplace of Newe Towne, which is what Cambridge was originally known as. There are several cafes, eateries, and shops in Harvard square with old and new character alike.
