"Upscale residential area with nearby shops"

The Agassiz neighborhood runs from Porter Square to Harvard Square. The neighborhood is a very desirable place to live with its mature landscaping, beautiful foliage, and nearby resources. Real estate sales in Agassiz average approximately $1,000,000 for a single family home while condominiums average approximately $500,000. Along Mass Avenue you’ll find everything you need from restaurants, boutiques, and a hug variety of stores that sell everything from clothing, music, furniture, house wares, and books.

The neighborhood is extremely walkable and you could easily live without a car in Agassiz because of the nearby stores and public transportation options. The Red Line subway, commuter rail, and buses have stops throughout. Agassiz has several favorite family parks such as Sacramento Field and Alden Park that get heavy usage during the spring and summer. Agassiz is also home to Lesley University.

"Talk about walkability!"

The Agassiz area of Cambridge is also known as Harvard North for its proximity to the university and was actually named for a Harvard professor who lived there. The neighborhood spans the distance between Harvard Square and Porter Square and is chock full of wonderful Victorian houses on all the side streets. Massachusetts Avenue provides all the stores, shops and restaurants plus over on Oxford Street, you can visit all the vintage mounted animals at the Harvard Museum of History. Residents and visitors love this walkable, convenient and charming neighborhood. It’s place where you don’t need a car. Between mass transit being right there and everything being so close, it’s a hit.
