    "Great area for small families and couples seeking a quiet neighborhood with easy access to grocery stores, find dining, great little shopping spots, and conveniently located between Harvard and MIT. It is also near the red line and green line."

    "Mid-Cambridge is a veritable city of little hamlets; composing mostly of charming Victorian era townhouses. Easy access to neighborhood shops and restaurants for various budgets. Terrific Main library, and as a resident of Cambridge, free access to the Harvard Art Museums."
