LOCATION / East Cambridge

167 Spring Street
Cambridge, MA 02141

---

Lying to the northeast of Kendall Square, East Cambridge has converted from an urban industrial and manufacturing base to prime retail, research, and commercial spaces—and many modern residential ones. In the nineteenth century, the neighborhood was home primarily to working-class immigrants, who built the small brick rowhouses and double-decker multi-family homes lining its northern streets. Its transit hub, Lechmere Square, links it to downtown Boston and—via the planned extension of the Green Line—soon to Somerville and Medford as well. The neighborhood’s eastern edge along the Charles River hosts hotels, luxury apartments, tech companies, a shopping mall, and the Boston Museum of Science.
