Kendall Square

Living in Kendall Square: Cambridge Neighborhood Guide

Kendall Square is focused around Main Street, Broadway, and Third Street, extending toward Binney Street and the MIT campus. Many residential buildings sit along the river-facing side streets near Memorial Drive.

Kendall Square offers a distinctly modern version of Cambridge living. Known globally for technology and life sciences, the area has transformed into a dense, amenity-rich neighborhood with newer residential buildings, river access, and highly walkable streets.

Transit access is excellent via the Kendall/MIT Red Line station, and many residents live within walking distance of work. The Charles River paths provide some of the best outdoor space in the city for walking, running, and biking.

Schools are accessible, but fewer are located directly within Kendall, making it more popular with professionals, couples, and investors. The vibe is forward-looking, fast-paced, and polished.
