I use to attend the Cutler School there before it was the W. Som comm school. I grew up up near Dolby.

I go to this school

You don’t “need” one if you are savvy, you never “needed” one technically, it’s not like a sale doesn’t get closed if there is no agent. But it’s recommended to have one if you don’t know anything about Google. If you don’t know how to Google or read or do basic research, then yes… find some an agent.

Miss it

You are so right. I purchased a house in Framingham, I paid $50G of the asking price and after I moved in, I regretted it.

Is this a good place for active middle aged people? We are young retirees looking for a walkable community

Always good advice thanks

great videos.

“Hope for the best; prepare for the worst.” “Live in the present.” My saying, “ you did the best you could with what you knew.”

I saw you a few weeks ago. I wanted to say hi but was too shy. My daughter called out for you when she saw I wouldn't but you had already crossed the street. This was by Cambridge St. I live in Cambridge and I think that a lot folks are surprised by how old a lot of these homes are. Many needed renovations. Those renovated by investors and flipped tend to be pricy. I bought my condo in the early 2000. It was quiet and peaceful but with all the construction and buildings being built the traffic (both people and cars) is a lot. Very much want to buy a single family home but I have been priced out. I was saving for $1M - 1.5M now those same homes are going for $3.5M. The school system here is pretty decent. That's what makes me stick out in my condo.

That Cambridge Port school opposite Market St. Is on the sight of the old FLETCHER SCHOOL that my Mom went to when she was a kid in the years of 1916 ? Her dad own a 3 family house on Market st. a block or two away from the school. That house was a cold water flat. My brother lived in that house in the early 1960's before it was sold.

Cambridge is the best city in New England, it’s worth it.

we are just here for the first time to visit our son. It is very beautiful and even more expensive….😊

Public subway stations here are atrocious... Especially for such an exclusive neighborhood.

The population density is a problem because Harvard & MIT own roughly 1/3rd of the land area in the entire city. Driving anywhere NEAR Harvard Yard is an absolute nightmare. Worse than most of NYC or LA driving. In fact, pretty much the entire area from the river all the way up to Route 93 in Somerville is the worst driving in the country. Parking is only a problem if you're visiting. If you live here, you either have a driveway or apartment building with it. It is literally twice as bad in Somerville with double the frequency of (unnecessary) street sweeping. Not mentioned: the typical Boston area worst designed road layout in the country. Roads twist everywhere and nothing makes sense. Just take a look on Google maps. Adding to that are all the one-way streets that don't consistently alternate. You can have 4 one way streets in a row going the same way and you often have to drive an entire mile before you find a street you can turn off on. The MBTA stations aren't worse than anywhere else in the city. You have 3 Redline stations spread out and a ridiculous amount of busses. You have a couple sparsely covered areas, but nothing as bad as Brooklyn or Queens. Public transit AINT one of the things to complain about. So 2 biggest cons are the prices and atrocious road layout. I don't see why anyone would want to pay those prices and put up with the congestion unless you worked or went to school here.

loved your content really helpful btw are you looking for video editor?

I’ve lived here for 16 years basically my whole life

Should be 6 reasons. Central Square is just nasty! Loads of drug addicts, pushers, drunks it's also dangerous and dirty! I grew up in the Port and it just keeps getting worse!

HARVARD SQ. Will never return to It's quaintness and old world charm like it had when I lived nearby and would frequent the square in THE 1940's and 50's. to shop, eat in the many reasonable restaurants and movie theatre.

You really won't be welcomed into the area unless you wear a MAGA hat. I worked at one of the big 2 unis there and know those kind of people.

Lived in the area for over 50 years, It's getting ridiculously crazy. Was bad before but worse now.

Thanks Charles👍

No thank you! I don't know you. My parents told me never to meet up with strangers.

Rent Control needs to come back

I grew up near Central Square attended the Morse School. I can remember Purity Supreme Super Market, Ken's Pub, Harvard Donut, Reids Jewelry, Galgay Florists, the Prospect Street Buffet, Coffee Time, Corcoran's, Woolworths, both of the Brigham's (there were 2), the Bradford Cafe and other places. My late father could have remembered every shop in the Square having lived there his whole life. Now the Square is a dump! The corner of Mass Ave and Pearl Street is an open air drug market and overall it's just dirty. The only reason I have for going there these days is to watch soccer at the Phoenix Landing.

My grandparents are both there god bless

The prices for housing ( renting and owning ) in the last 4 years under BIDEN has spiraled out of sight. I'm so glad that I lived in the 1950's and 60's and 70's when the prices on everything was a lot more affordable than it is now. Everyone should quit their job and join the ranks of the Welfare recipients who pay ZILCH for everything. Generation after generation and they are still on welfare.

I worked at the STOP & SHOP on Mass ave. across from St. JOHN'S church in the late 1950's. My mom is buried in the cemetery on RINDGE ave. In between the low income housing project and the French church....My friends and I would frequent the BURGER RANCH DRIVE-IN restaurant at the corner of Fresh Pond Parkway and RINDGE Ave. The 50's and early 60's was a nice period of time to live in.

Another good video! Thank you, Mr. Chearney! (Sp?) I recently moved to Cambridge. But only renting for now (otherwise, I obviously, would’ve looked up your real estate office)! I live just a mile away from Formaggio, and walk around both FP and MAC often. (I started abbreviating because I write about them so often).

I ran track and field at TRUM FIELD in the 1940's, as all the playgrounds competed for trophys ......Needless to say, I ran for Lincoln Park and lost......Never hung out in Magoun SQ , even though I later lived in WINTER HILL off of MEDFORD St.....

What a shame what they have done with Harvard. Who ever thought it would turn out like this. Too much money by hedge funders, bankers etc totally corrupted it and will lead to its demise

Thirty something years ago, when I moved to the Boston area, my college friend S.who was here as an optometry school, took me on a tour of Harvard. One foot on the campus, and S. turns to me, sighs, and says half-jokingly, half-seriously, “I feel like my IQ jumped 100 points.” I thought that was both funny and cute, but he’s right! I felt the same way.

That red brick flat iron shapped building across from the firehouse on the corner of Hampshire and Cambridge was the old REXALL DRUG store that had 3 separate ways to get in the store.....Next to it was the Bowling Ally downstairs and next to that was a BARBER SHOP.....I have the whole square in my memory and it's still sharp even though i'll be 90 next year...Oh, I guess they tore down the INMAN SQUARE THEATRE too.....We paid 8 CENTS in the 1940's to get in and they put 2 kids in a seat in the balcony that would Never be allowed now.....I would like to go back there one more time....

Reviews flower shop yet no flowers in background hmm. Great vid entertaining and informative thank you!

I was born 2 minutes from INMAN SQ. and spent 31 years in that area.....I sold newspapers to all the patrons in the bowling alleys, the Bars, the stores and anyone on the street who had a nickle to spend.......My brother worked for LEGAL CASH MARKET IN the 1940's before they opened LEGAL SEA FOODS next door.....In those years we had no supermarkets so you had do your shopping in the fruit and vegetable store, the butter coffee and egg store, the bakery store, the small grocery store and the 5 and 10 cent store.......Let me see, I was also hit by a car in the square and when I got up off the ground and walked away, the driver drove away also and nobody cared... One other thing, when the japs surrendered in W. W. 2 on August 1945, I was in the square with hundreds of people cheering and kissing and honking their car horns.....I'll be 90 next year and have lots more memories of INMAN SQUARE..

Julia Child use to shop for her groceries at SAVENORS groceries and beer and wine store at the corner of BEACON and Kirkland st. As you stated only I've been in there for some things in the late 1950's, as my garage was across the intersection on BEACON st...... SAVAS

Thank you

I wonder how a person buying in Somerville finds out the water and sewer rates could be $20000 a year .

Nice video! Didn’t know Pita has Moroccan food. Moroccan Hospitality disappeared during the pandemic.

👍
