East Cambridge, MA Apartments for Rent

East Cambridge, Massachusetts combines historical charm with contemporary living opportunities. Originally an island at high tide surrounded by marshland, East Cambridge now features a well-planned grid layout connecting to the Charles River and neighboring communities. Apartments in East Cambridge offer convenient access to Lechmere Square's transportation hub, CambridgeSide mall, and an array of restaurants along Cambridge Street. The neighborhood's historical significance dates back to the Revolutionary War, when it served as the landing point for British troops en route to the Battles of Lexington and Concord.

The area's southern section houses numerous research facilities and companies, including Genzyme, Biogen, and Moderna. East Cambridge has transformed since the late 1990s, with former industrial buildings renovated into residential and office spaces. Residents can enjoy outdoor recreation at riverside parks along Cambridge Parkway and Lechmere Canal. The 2022 opening of the relocated Lechmere Station provides enhanced public transportation access to Boston and surrounding areas.
