Cambridgeport, Cambridge, Massachusetts

Cambridgeport is one of the neighborhoods of Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. It is bounded by Massachusetts Avenue, the Charles River, MIT, and Harvard. The commercial district is Central Square, which is also the Subway/MBTA (locally called the T) stop on the Red line.

There are a number of excellent, small restaurants in the neighborhood, and the Central Square area is known for being the Boston area's primary venue for live music (well known venues include TT the Bear's and the Middle East). Cambridgeport is 2 stops on the T from Boston, and a short walk to the Back Bay or Kenmore Square areas of Boston.

Culturally, Cambridgeport is a gentrifying mix of students, young professionals, and longtime, often poorer residents. The students are mostly graduate students from neighboring MIT and Harvard. Neighborhood housing prices continue to grow, with condominium prices starting in the $400,000s, and houses well above that. The neighborhood is still considered a good value amongst the surrounding real estate in Boston and Cambridge, but it is unlikely to remain that way.
