Cambridge, Massachusetts

Neighborhood highlights: Real Estate, history, recreation and more

Established in 1630 as Newtown, Cambridge was renamed in 1638 in honor of The University of Cambridge in England. Cambridge, the city of Higher Education, Bio-Tech Commerce and entrepreneurial start-ups, is a hub of constant creativity. A wide variety of retail shops and restaurants attracts all demographics. The Brattle Street area abutting Harvard Square is home to some of the most interesting and beautiful Cambridge Real Estate. Many of the residents of these homes and condos walk to work, giving Cambridge residents the distinction of being the highest percentage of commuters in the country who do so. In the spring and summer months, the activity along the Charles River ranges from biking, picnicking, sun bathing and boating, bringing people together from all of Boston's surrounding communities!
