A Cambridge Moving Company needs to know Cambridge Neighborhoods

Central Square

Central Sq, dominated by Massachusetts Avenue, is a busy neighborhood in Cambridge that exudes trendiness and a welcoming vibe. This neighborhood is a haven for food enthusiasts, offering an extensive array of culinary delights ranging from expertly crafted coffee and prohibition-era cocktails to a diverse range of international cuisine including sushi, hot pot, global tapas, and Lebanese dishes. For those with a penchant for thrift shopping and vintage treasures, Central Square is a treasure trove waiting to be explored. The cultural scene is equally vibrant, with the Central Square Theater providing a stage for the Nora Theatre Company and Underground Railway Theater, making it a perfect spot for an evening of artistic indulgence. Also of note in Central Sq is longtime rock venue The Middle East, which started life as a small restaurant and now encompasses 5 venues with live music every night.

Cambridgeport

This area is witnessing a transformation, with previously dilapidated homes being renovated and sold for substantial profits, leading to a shift in the community as longtime residents choose to cash out. Such changes, while enhancing the neighborhood’s aesthetic appeal, are also altering its social fabric over time. Despite its predominantly residential nature, Cambridgeport’s charm is augmented by the presence of small bodegas and local eateries at various street corners, contributing to its unique character. Our household movers are a fixture in the neighborhood. However, the area has also seen the loss of cherished establishments, such as the recently shuttered River Gods, a change that underscores the evolving landscape of this beloved neighborhood.

Harvard Square

Steeped in history and academic prestige, is an essential visit for anyone exploring the Cambridge area. This neighborhood offers a glimpse into the Ivy League life with guided tours through Harvard Yard and opportunities to immerse oneself in art at the Harvard Art Museums. Bibliophiles will find solace in the Harvard Book Store, especially in the basement where a treasure trove of discounted used books awaits. Culinary and nightlife experiences in this square are equally enriching, with establishments like Alden & Harlow and Shays Pub & Wine Bar providing unique dining and socializing experiences. Dominated by Harvard University, Harvard Sq is a frequent stop for our college movers.

Inman Square

presents a charming blend of local and ethnic flavors, with establishments like Casa Portugal and The Portugalia Restaurante serving up authentic Portuguese cuisine. The Druid, nestled in the oldest wooden mercantile building in Cambridge, offers a quintessential Irish pub experience. For music lovers, the Lily Pad is an award-winning venue that hosts an array of performances. The square is also home to Christina’s Homemade Ice Cream and its accompanying specialty store, offering a delightful culinary experience. The neighborhood features many triple decker apartment buildings, which require experienced apartment movers to navigate.

Kendall Sq

is a hub of innovation and culinary delights, where one can explore the MIT campus or indulge in unique shopping experiences like The Garment District. The food scene in Kendall Square is notable for its variety, offering everything from brick oven pizza at Area Four to modern American cuisine at the Glass House and classic Jewish delicacies at Mamaleh’s Delicatessen. Kendall Sq features many offices, and has been a location for many of our office moves.

Porter Square

With its iconic “Gift of the Wind” sculpture, Porter Sq is a thriving commercial district known for its international culinary scene. The area is perfect for leisurely explorations and gastronomic adventures, offering a range of dining options like Mediterranean cuisine at Baraka and authentic ramen at Yume Wo Katare. For those looking to extend their stay, the Porter Square Hotel provides a cozy and convenient lodging option. With an abundance of shops and restaurants, Porter Square is a lively neighborhood that caters to both locals and visitors alike. Porter Sq has a mix of short and long term residents, and is a neighborhood where we’ve offered pod movers many times.

Cambridge Moving Permits – A must for Cambridge Movers

One of the nice things about moving to Cambridge is how easy it is to obtain moving permits. In nearby cities  you have to order and post the permits on your own — or at least have your moving company do it for you. Thankfully, that’s not the case in Cambridge. In fact, the Cambridge Department of Public Works will post the permits for you. You just order the permits online and they do the rest! This is a great service since Cambridge has so many narrow streets where parking a moving truck can be difficult for a Cambridge moving company. You can read all about getting permits in Cambridge here.

Of course, we remain proud of many of the nice things people have said about our Cambridge moving company over the years. But being nominated by Scout Cambridge  as one of the city’s top movers was a special honor. We’ve done hundreds of moves in and around Cambridge over the years. So if you need Cambridge movers, don’t hesitate to reach out!
