Mid Cambridge Neighborhood Guide
Mid Cambridge isn’t a term most people hear until they look for a home in Cambridge, or move into this charming neighborhood.
Before people move here they know Harvard Square, Central Square, maybe Inman Square or Kirkland Village, but after they move here they often call their home Mid Cambridge.
In the middle of everything. Many people have walking commutes to Harvard, MIT, Kendall Square, and area companies like Takeda, Novartis, Pfizer, and Google as well as many startup companies.
I moved to a neighborhood I had never heard of and found everything I wanted.
Living in Mid Cambridge
Cambridge is high energy and doesn’t always feel zen and friendly when people first arrive.
People feel challenged by driving, parking, and have great stories about local hurdles of finding their way or communicating with people in the city.
I discovered a completely different pace when I moved to Mid Cambridge.
The streets were quiet. The one-way streets are set up to be traffic-calming. The brick sidewalks and big trees encourage ambling.
I could park my car and leave it sitting for days or weeks without needing it.
I could walk to an amazing coffee experience and think about my happiness. 🙂
Weather in Mid Cambridge?
We have winter. With snow.
But before that, we have the most glorious fall. Cambridge is the place to be in October.

Where is Mid Cambridge?
The brilliant thing about living in Mid Cambridge is that in the neighborhood….houses and trees, charming and quiet.
At every boundary of the neighborhood….all the things. The boundaries of Mid Cambridge are Harvard Square, Central Square, Inman Square, and Kirkland Village. And in these spots? So many of the amazing shops and restaurants that make Cambridge a destination.
Buses run along many streets and the Red Line T is in both Harvard and Central Squares.
