Just as The Big Apple is considered the center of the world by its residents, Harvard Square is heralded as the nucleus of Cambridge. Geographically, historically and culturally, Harvard Square fits the bill. This Cambridge, Massachusetts neighborhood is home to one of the most prestigious universities in the world, and an intellectual influence infuses the Boston suburb.

Residents of Harvard Square apartments are spoiled by the sheer volume of books available at any of the area's 30 bookstores, such as the Harvard Book Store, Almost Banned in Harvard Square Booksellers and the Globe Corner Bookstore. More books and electronic resources abound at the Harvard University and Lesley University libraries. But Harvard Square is more than just books and education. Harvard Square is a place for shopping, eating, and experiencing high culture.

All the world's a stage, or at least it may feel like it when you walk out of your Harvard Square apartment. Street performers are commonplace, year round, similar to what you find at Key West's sunset festival in Florida. Indoors, this Cambridge neighborhood offers world-famous theater at The American Repertory Theatre, the Actors' Shakespeare Project and Jose Mateo's Ballet Theatre. Harvard Square apartment residents also enjoy blockbuster movies at the local commercial theater, as well as independent films at The Brattle Theatre movie house.

Visitors and Harvard Square apartment dwellers alike are drawn to this Cambridge Neighborhood for its boutique and one-of-a-kind retail offerings. Popular shopping stops include Newbury Comics and a wide selection of clothing stores with offerings ranging from high fashion to street wear. Residents also enjoy fine stationary stores, and Bikram yoga. Harvard Square offers Bertucci's pizza Algiers Coffee House, and many other fine eateries featuring outdoor dining and late night menus.
