Kendall Square real estate

Once a major industrial area on the outskirts of residential Cambridge, Kendall Square is today a sought-after neighborhood for businesses and residents alike. Kendall Square has been an important transportation hub since the construction of the West Boston Bridge in 1793, which provided the first direct wagon route from Boston to Cambridge. It became a major industrial center in the 19th century when it was home to factories, electric power plants, and distilleries. The area still hums with commerce, but today it’s a bit cleaner (and quieter!). Interactive agencies, biotechnology companies, and information technology firms now fill the gleaming buildings overlooking the Charles River.

But Kendall Square real estate is not just commercial – far from it! New Kendall Square apartments are going up at breakneck speed – many of them luxury offerings with great amenities. Apartments for rent in Kendall Square MA also include triple deckers, duplexes and single family homes on the side streets that border East Cambridge.

During the day Kendall Square hums with the activity of a busy commercial center, and at night, the area’s many fine restaurants bring out diners and revelers. When you live in a Kendall Square apartment, you’re never far away from the action. The square itself is located on the Red Line subway station, and downtown Boston is an easy walk across the famous Longfellow Bridge.  And just a shuttle bus ride away lies the Cambridgeside Galleria, which offers plenty of restaurants and shops to choose from. Kendall Square also offers one of the best panoramic views of Boston, along with a beautiful Charles River waterfront.
