Walk To The MBTA : Find Property That Is Walking Distance To The T: November 2009

Cambridge Somerville MA Real Estate For Sale - 2 Bed Condos Walkable to Porter Square MBTA

Below are my choices for the top 2 bedroom condos currently for sale that are walking distance to the Porter Square T station on the MBTA's Red Line.  Located on the borders of both Cambridge and Somerville, Porter Sq. is a vibrant area with lots of interesting shopping, dinning, bars and nightlife.  Inhabited by a large student and professional population, Porter Square should be on the radar of every buyer looking to be near Harvard, MIT, Lesley, or Tufts as well as those who prefer an easy commute into Downtown Boston or Cambridge's bio-tech heavy Kendall Square and Technology Square.  Prices in this area will run generally in the $450/sq.ft. area, but some of the best values can be found in the up-and-coming area of North Cambridge, much of which is close to the Porter Square T.  North Cambridge also pushes you towards the Alewife T station, also on the Red Line - check out my blog post about Alewife T properties here.   The properties below represent my favorites, but there are many more available with similar attributes.  Let me help you find your ideal Porter Square property today - call David at 617-259-0235.

Condos for Sale in Brighton Brookline MA - walking distance to the Cleveland Circle MBTA

Below is a sample list of some of the best condos for sale that are walking distance to the Cleveland Circle T station on the MBTA's Green Line.  Essentially located on the border of Brighton and Brookline, Cleveland Circle is a favorite with both students and professionals alike due to its great restaurants and bars, easy commute via train or auto, and a fantastic selection of properties ranging from keg-party rental to upscale luxury.   If you're looking to purchase in this area you can expect to pay in the $350-400/sq.ft. range in Brighton Condos and $400-450/sq.ft. in Brookline Real Estate.  Keep in mind that Brookline does not allow overnight street parking, so if you have parking needs and you hope to park on the street, only Brighton would be able to accommodate.  And of course, in addition to the proximity of Boston College, Boston University, and Harvard Business School, it's the convenience of the MBTA station that really makes your commute into downtown Boston and beyond a breeze.  As an agent, the most common request I get from customers is to find properties near the T, which is why owning a Cleveland Circle property gives you a nice advantage when it comes time to resell.   The list below is just a decent cross section of different styles and price points within the area - for help finding any property near the Cleveland Circle T call David at 617-259-0235.

Cambridge MA Condos For Sale - Walkable to Harvard Square MBTA!

Below represent my picks for the most affordable, one bed condos that are walking distance form the Harvard Square MBTA station, on the Red Line T. These properties make ideal purchases for students of Harvard, Harvard Law, Harvard Business School, M.I.T., Lesley, Boston University, Boston College, and more! Harvard Square is also great for professionals who require an easy commute on the T, and within vicinity of the fantastic nightlife and restaurants of Harvard Square.  Probably one of the top five most desirable places to live in all of Greater Boston, Harvard Square has been somewhat immune to the difficulties of the national real estate market and has kept its value decently strong.  Every fall there is always a large turnover of students and the more land that Harvard University snaps up for themselves, the less residential private property available for the rest of us, which makes these properties hard to come by - and demand is always a wonderful thing when it comes time to resell.  Take a look at my sample list below but give us a call or email davidshomefinder@gmail.com if you would like me to help you find the perfect property of any variety in the Harvard Square area.  -
