Centered on Porter Square and stretching through North Cambridge and Avon Hill, 02140 blends tree-lined residential streets and historic homes with a lively Mass Ave corridor. You’ll have Red Line and Commuter Rail at Porter, Alewife connections nearby, and easy cycling on the Minuteman Bikeway and Linear Park; weekends gravitate to Danehy Park’s fields, walking loops, and dog run, plus Russell Field and paths along Alewife Brook. Daily conveniences are close: Porter Square Shopping Center with Star Market and cafes, local favorite Pemberton Farms, and a strong coffee-and-dining scene including Bagelsaurus, Yume Wo Katare, Simon’s Coffee Shop, and Cafe Zing at Porter Square Books; gyms and studios dot the neighborhood. The vibe is friendly and intellectual, with a mix of long-timers, families, grad students, and professionals; nightlife skews cozy and conversation-forward. Expect classic New England seasons—snowy winters and colorful fall.
