I lived in Cambridge for the first 10 years of my life……….Harvard Square to be exact. Loved it……..a great to grow up in. I am retired now to a warmer climate, but miss these wonderful early days!!!!!
We had a rent controlled 1/1 apt on Mt Auburn St at Mass Ave near the Orson Welles Cinema for $210 including heat, in 1973. When they raised rent to $225, we moved out!
Hello. Just want to ask, what amount of salary do you need to make per year in order to have a comfortable life in Cambridge and still have enough for savings?
Looking at this video two years after is just crazy how the average rent exploded O_O Additionally, the broker fee are outrageous, I can set up an online post for rent in 10 minutes... The landlord should pay it.
Did you hear that Aunt Julia? Cambridge houses have the highest value in MA. I need that house Aunt Julia. I dont care if Nick is your son, that house is mine.
If you want to be near cambridge look into nearby towns like medford, Arlington, or the Allston/Brighton area for more affordable apartments. If you prefer Cambridge the Port/wellington Harrington are the cheapest neighborhoods. As a rule of thumb be as far from the redline as possible for the most affordable apartments. You can find rentals near bus lines that will take you directly to school without breaking the bank living next to a T stop

Same. Grew up between Harvard Square and Central Square. Went to Cambridge Rindge and Latin.

My family has been in Cambridge since the 1850's. My father got us out in 1968.

Jesus. Even making $35/hr it doenst make financial sense to get a 1/1.
what's a 1/1? Please elaborate
@@sulkel 1 bed/ 1 bath
@@JimBobe why would it not make financial sense
@@sulkel Because of the cost of living/expenses associated with living in Cambridge. Roommates are your best bet if you are making $35/hr
@@JimBobe I see, thanks.

This is what My Mother was talking high as a dam kite
It’s insane to me to find out that Cambridge is more expensive to live in than L.A.
milk is 6$

Health insurance cost WTFFFFFFF
Thinking of moving to Cambridge? No offense, but HELL NO! Much love from TX though!
Hope Cambridge becomes my future city
Why?

Where do broke college students go to rent apartments off campus?

Harvard and MIT should cover housing if you can prove you're broke, no?
Just plan on spending around 1k a week if you have a wife and maybe a kid.
