ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD

The apartment is located in one of the best neighborhoods to be in the summer in Cambridge. Right on Charles river, it is 10-12 minutes walking distance from the main Harvard University gate in Cambridge in Harvard Square and similar distance to Allston's campus on Western Ave. You will be also in a 10 minute walking distance to the largest Whole Foods in Cambridge/Boston as well as Trader Joes and CVS or Walgreens. Various mini markets, restaurants, and bars are just nearby in Harvard Square. The neighborhood features tons of other Harvard University owned buildings, including undergraduate/graduate housing.

As a person living in the area for about 10 years, I can provide you with a list of recommendations on where to eat, drink and shop in the neighborhood.

ABOUT THE PROPERTY:

Built in 1964, the Peabody Terrace complex overlooks the Charles River and a city park in Cambridge, Massachusetts in the Riverside area. The grounds, common areas, kitchens and baths have been renovated. The Graduate Commons space received LEED Platinum certification. It is designed in the brutalist architectural style of the 1950s-1960s by the Dean of the Graduate School of Design.
