Daily life is walkable and bike friendly, with Lechmere Station on the Green Line, Bluebikes docks, and quick links to Kendall/MIT, downtown Boston, and I-93.

Residents jog the river paths, relax on the CX Common, and enjoy community festivals that reflect the area’s roots. The mix spans young professionals, grad students, and long-time families, and it’s notably pet friendly.
