    I have visited Cambridge on many occasions and love the city. I would move there in a heartbeat, but while I have a good income, there’s no way I can afford the real estate market there. People who live there should feel blessed.

    I visited Cambridge back in 1999 and I fell in love with it. It is such a cool place with so many interesting sites and people.

    I was born in and spent most of my youth in Cambridge. Harvard Yard was my playground and the Christmas Revels at Sanders Theatre was a treat at holiday time. Great place to live and grow up to.

    I’m from Napa, California, and I just moved to Cambridgeport! I found a room to rent for $820, and I’m attending Boston University on a scholarship. I hoped to find housing in Brookline, but I couldn’t find anything in time or reasonably priced until I found something in Cambridgeport. It was this, Southie, or Dorchester… 😅 I feel like I made the best choice!

    It"s very nice and eclectic, but Real estate and renting are extremely expensive! I live in Medford which is North West of Cambridge. Even here, real estate is getting very expensive. I'm glad I bought a house in Medford when it was affordable!!

    Fun video. I worked on Brattle Street and lived a block from the Mt. Auburn Hospital. The walk from work to home was through the most unbelievable neighborhood of old beautiful museum quality homes.

      I love that neighborhood. I grew up just outside Central SQ. I used to work on Mt Auburn street right across from the cemetery in the white office building. Sometimes I would walk from work to Harvard Square to catch the red line. You're right it was a beautiful walk. I live in Manchester by the Sea now but Cambridge will always be my true home.

    If I saw this video 10 years ago, I would agree with it all. What a great place this was to live in for so many years. But as you slightly touched upon, it is too crowded now. Its been overdeveloped. Its now just an extension of Boston and has lost most of it s wonderful neighborhood family feel. Sad. =(

      Winters here vary from year to year. That being said, it can and does get cold! Winter weather + cold is part of the New England experience:) !

      The winters do vary. This past winter, I think it only snowed a handful of times, and did we even have a snowstorm? Can’t remember.
      All that said, as some Scandinavians, “there’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes.” Which essentially means, that with the right kinds of clothes and boots, you’ll be fine.

    Thanks Charles. You may be preaching to a believer here, but what would you say are the advantages of Cambridge over Boston? If I need to get out to Waltham frequently, what better area than Porter Square with its commuter rail line is there? Danke.

    • @CharlesCherney
      @CharlesCherney  3 года назад

      Cambridge is smaller and has more greenery than Boston. And generally speaking it is easier to park in Cambridge. Not sure there is an easy commute to Waltham from Cambridge.
