Property Description

Harvard Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is a vibrant and historic neighborhood known for its intellectual energy, diverse culture, and lively atmosphere. Centered around Harvard University, the area features a unique blend of old-world charm and modern amenities. Cobblestone streets, historic buildings, and eclectic architecture give the square its distinctive character, while an array of bookstores, cafes, restaurants, and boutique shops add to its lively environment.

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.
