If You Want it, East Cambridge has it
Most peoples’ conception of Cambridge begins at Kendall and ends at Alewife. Sure, some hipsters will gab on about Inman Square, but for the most part, people see it as an overducated, arsty-fartsy counterpoint for its neighbor to the south.
But outside of MIT and Harvard, Cambridge has an industrial past. 120,000 called the city home midway through the century, working at mills, warehouses, and the Boston and Maine railroad. Today, the stacks and soot are gone, but the workers’ houses, and the bombproof brick buildings in which they toiled, remain.
From the condos over North Point park to refurbed rowhouses on Fulkerson Street, to mixed use living space/lab space butting right up against Kendall Square, there’s no neighborhood in Boston that packs the same diverse living arrangements into such a small area.
While unstable conditions in real estate nationwide have forced the massive North Point project to scale back somewhat, the resulting market fluctuations are most certainly in the buyer’s best interest. With an open-til-midnight Shaws, access to the central subway, the Cambridgeside Galleria mall, and the best Karaoke in Boston all within easy walking distance, no question costs here are some of the best value buys in Boston.
