Cambridge lofts for rent near Central Square

Just a few steps away from the Central Square T Station, and some of the area’s hottest hangouts, you’ll enter a quiet, peaceful neighborhood: streets lined with historic brick buildings, courtyard gardens and fountains, sprawling, well-manicured lawns … in short, a fantastic area to call home. (Plus, there’s the little fact that this is where the Fig Newton was born!)

There’s something for everyone in this mill-style, brick-and-beam building (listed on the National Register of Historic Places), from one- and two-bedroom apartments to three-bedroom duplexes to traditional artist lofts. The industrial touches remain (think exposed wood beams and brick walls, oversized windows, wide hallways, high ceilings) and are enhanced by modern touches (think renovated kitchens, new carpet, a 24-hour concierge, and large laundry room). On the first floor, don’t miss the original steam oven — push the button to make it turn and impress your friends!

Be specific about what you’re looking for … whether it’s an apartment feel in a loft building, or the actual loft experience. Depending on your needs and desires, features include ample closet space, central air-conditioning, exposed wood and brick, hardwood floors or wall-to-wall carpeting, huge windows, duplex layouts with upstairs bedrooms, private outdoor deck areas, intercom systems, and more. You certainly won’t feel squeezed in here — every unit feels spacious (some of the best space for the price in the entire city!) and the grand scale of the building ensures that you’re not rubbing shoulders with your neighbors.
