Cambridge, MA Condos and Townhomes for Sale

Cambridge, MA Condos and Townhomes

Cambridge is one of the most recognized cities in Massachusetts, home to Harvard, MIT, and the research and tech companies of Kendall Square. Just across the Charles River from Boston, it combines the energy of a university city with residential neighborhoods full of historic homes, tree-lined streets, and local shops. For buyers, it offers a rare mix of walkability, transit, and long-term demand.

Cambridge has a home for many stages of life. Condos make up most of the homes for sale, from units in converted Victorian houses to elevator buildings with river views. Two- and three-family homes appeal to buyers who want rental income or room for extended family. Single-family homes are fewer and more competitive, ranging from classic Colonials and Victorians to newly built homes.

Each Cambridge neighborhood has its own character. Harvard Square has the most listings, with condos and historic homes close to the university, shops, and restaurants. West Cambridge offers larger single-family homes near Fresh Pond. Avon Hill, Agassiz, and Strawberry Hill are quieter residential areas with handsome older houses. East Cambridge and Kendall Square feature newer condo buildings near the Green Line and CambridgeSide, while Cambridgeport, Mid Cambridge, Inman Square, and North Cambridge mix two- and three-families with condo conversions. Porter Square and Central Square add Red Line access and busy local business districts.

Based on recent MLS listings, Cambridge condos have ranged from about $330,000 to $4.8 million, with most between about $695,000 and $1.37 million. Single-family homes have ranged from about $799,000 to $14 million, with a typical listing near $3.1 million. Two- to four-unit multi-family homes have ranged from about $1.35 million to $7.8 million.

Buyers choose Cambridge for its location and lifestyle. The Red Line connects Alewife, Porter, Harvard, Central, and Kendall/MIT to downtown Boston, and the Green Line serves Lechmere in East Cambridge. Residents enjoy the paths along the Charles River, Fresh Pond Reservation, and a lively food and arts scene in each of the squares. With major universities and employers nearby, Cambridge remains one of the most sought-after places to own a home in Greater Boston.
