About this home

Imagine starting the morning with coffee in the sun-drenched living room, then heading to work or class without spending your day sitting in Cambridge traffic. It is possible! Welcome to your new home in Cambridgeport, a newly renovated 1st-floor generously sized apartment with flexible living space. The unit features 2 generously sized bedrooms, a third room, and a flexible front room that can work beautifully as an additional bedroom, comfortably fitting a 4 roommate set up. Thoughtfully renovated by skilled craftspeople, the apartment reflects a commitment to quality in every detail. Carefully selected materials, modern features, and beautifully executed finishes create a home that feels fresh, comfortable, and made to last. The property has been exceptionally well cared for by owners who take pride in providing attentive, five-star service to their tenants, a level of quality and responsiveness that can be rare to find in Cambridge. The newly renovated kitchen features new appliances and a fresh, clean design, while the home’s large windows bring in wonderful natural light throughout the day. Additional conveniences include laundry onsite, an indoor bike rack, and locked basement storage unit. But one of the best parts of living here is the location. Cambridgeport is one of those neighborhoods where you can genuinely leave the car behind. Walk or bike to neighborhood shops, restaurants, parks, schools, Harvard, MIT and BU local hospitals, and many of Cambridge and Boston’s major employment centers. What does transportation and commuting look like? Central Square red line is .6 miles away; buses 65 and 47 are 1 block away; Bluebikes are across the street, Hwy 90 is about 1.5 miles away; the BU Bridge provides an easy connection across the Charles River to Boston University. You’re close to everything Cambridge has to offer while still living on a residential neighborhood street with a strong sense of community. For someone looking for a renovated Cambridge home with flexible space, accessibility, and a neighborhood you can actually enjoy on foot, 147 Allston Street offers a wonderful combination of location and everyday livability.

What do these numbers mean?

DESE accountability percentiles (1–99) compare schools administering similar assessments, using up to two years of indicators. These are not test scores out of 100 or GreatSchools 1–10 ratings. Progress toward targets is a separate state measure. Consider programs, support services and your child’s needs as well.

School names link to available school or district websites.
