Cambridge Condos for Sale & Rent
Cambridge is one of the most beloved cities in the greater Boston area. It has a great location that makes it easy for students and professionals to travel to school or work. Cambridge is a large and diverse area with a thriving real estate market and a superb variety of condos. The city consistently ranks at the top of the metropolitan market in terms of total condo sales. More than 700 units hit the market each year. This gives buyers a chance to be particular and choose the best property from a diverse pool.
The Condo Market
Traditionally, Cambridge has had a strong real estate market. Overwhelming demand has increased prices in town and in surrounding communities like Somerville, which has quickly become a large, powerful market in its own right. The condo market in Cambridge includes everything from ultra-luxurious multi-million dollar units to studio condos that are ideal for students, new graduates and young professionals who might be entering the market for the first time on their own or with help from their family.
Median Prices
If you want to buy a condo or co-op apartment, the median cost per square foot is about $578. The median sale price topped $600,000 in 2014 and has remained in the upper $500,000s. Prices are increasing steadily, and more condos are selling at top-market prices.
Buyers who want to find an affordable condo in Cambridge have several neighborhoods from which to choose. Median prices are still less than $500,000 in North Cambridge, Area 4 and Wellington-Harrington, which is close to Somerville's hot Union Square neighborhood.
The most affluent areas where you'll find a greater concentration of luxury condos include West Cambridge, East Cambridge, Aggasiz-Harvard North and Cambridgeport. On the other hand, Mid-Cambridge, Peabody and Riverside are good, solid middle-market neighborhoods where you'll find condos in private three-story townhomes and multi-unit brick buildings.
Housing Options
In each Cambridge neighborhood, buyers will find a wide range of options. Smaller, more affordable condos tend to be located in historic triple-deckers and townhomes. Around Harvard, Kendall, Porter and Inman squares, there are more mixed-use buildings and high-end developments that offer luxury condos. Whatever you're looking for, Boston City Properties will find it.
Condo Features and Amenities
Condos in Cambridge have excellent amenities and features. One- and two-bedroom units make up a large portion of the condo market. These are typically located in small to mid-sized multi-unit buildings where you'll have accessible parking, in-unit laundry and shared outdoor spaces. A significant number of condos have premium finishes, granite counters and views of the Boston skyline, which add to their value and overall appeal.
