Mid-Cambridge Neighborhood

Combining big city convenience with an intellectual atmosphere, classic architecture and historic Colonial-era homes, Mid-Cambridge gives its residents a desirable, balanced lifestyle.

Boasting an outstanding public transit system, abundant arts and culture attractions and pedestrian-friendly streets, the Mid-Cambridge neighborhood includes Central, Inman and historic Harvard Squares. Somerville lies to the north of the neighborhood along Hampshire and Line Streets, and Prospect Street borders on the east.

Central Square lies at the junction of Massachusetts and Western Avenues and Prospect Street and includes Lafayette Square, located at the junction of Massachusetts Avenue and Main, Columbia and Sidney Streets. The Central Square Historic District, added in 1990 to the National Register of Historic Places, lies along Massachusetts Avenue between Main and Clinton Streets.

Harvard Square lies along Massachusetts Avenue to the northwest, Inman Square is located along Prospect Street to the north and Kendall Square lies along Main to the east of Central Square.

The MBTA Red Line Central station and Routes 1, 64, 83 and 91 provide access to Central Square. This handy access is one reason Central Square is the main commercial center for several surrounding neighborhoods.

Inman Square generally refers to the area at the intersection of Hampshire and Harvard Streets. Geologically, the land of the Inman Square region was originally a flat area surrounded by swampland. Central Square lies to south, Harvard Square to the west, East Cambridge to the east and Union Square to the north of Inman Square. Porter Square is accessible to the northwest and Kendall Square accessible to the southeast via Hampshire Street.

Known as Cambridge's historic area, the triangular plaza of Harvard Square lies at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Brattle and John F. Kennedy Streets. The "Square" serves as an important commercial center for both students of Harvard University and western Cambridge residents. Because of the close proximity to the MBTA subway, a visitor information kiosk, an international newsstand and an open-performance area known as "The Pit," pedestrians regularly flock to the center of Harvard Square.
