Reply to comment by pjm8786 in Moving to Cambridge for the summer - where to live? by Visual_Newspaper_210

I don’t have a fixed budget as I am privileging comfort of living. I really like walkable areas and accessible coffee shops/grocery places. I will be working on the MIT area and I would be okay with commuting 15/20 minutes.

Look around the Kendall square and Harvard Square neighborhoods. Both are very walkable, have access to the T (metro), are within your commute requirement, and most importantly have lots of college/grad students who might be subletting for the summer. In general Kendall is more modern with tall glass buildings while Harvard is much older in a brick and ivy sort of way. Regardless, sublets are your best bet for furnished apartments in the summer

Thank you, that's very helpful! It does get tricky to find an entire apartment for sublet as most students share housing...

You might want to look at East Cambridge then. A little bit farther than living right in Kendall, but it's a nice walk and Curio coffee and the Star Market are right there.

Thank you!! As long as there is access to a T station and it's a nice area, I really don't mind. I commute 40 minutes to go to work everyday here!
