Inman Square is among the most vibrant neighborhoods in Cambridge.

The heart of Inman Square is the intersection of Hampshire and Beacon and Cambridge Streets. As with other so-called squares in Cambridge, Inman Square is not a square but rather the name given to a neighborhood surrounding the center point. There are not really any clearly defined Inman Square boundary lines. That being said, Cambridge Street is certainly the main street of the neighborhood, especially between Hampshire and Columbia Streets.

As for real estate, all residential property types – condominiums, single families, and multifamilies – are found in Inman Square.

Entry with skylight at 42 Winter, sun-splashed top floor residence.

Entry to 42 Winter #3 is via a private entry stairs from the second floor landing. A skylight overhead allows for ample natural light, as do the windows on the front and back and side of this light-filled top floor home. Adding to the comfort and appeal are the high ceilings and hardwood floors found throughout.

The family room is part of appealing open main living area.

The open main living area features family and dining areas and a spacious kitchen with newer stainless steel appliances. Off of this central living space one finds a front bedroom and separate study, a full bath, and a second bedroom with second bath en suite. The separate study is a real bonus. Now used as a reading nook (with a comfortable reading chair with ottoman under the window), the room would also make a great nursery.

Since 2006, more than 1,700 residential units have been built in the Kendall Square area. Kendall Square is in East Cambridge, close to Boston.

Among the new restaurants to recently open are The Friendly Toast, especially popular for breakfast on weekends.

Kendall Square also has a new waterfront walkway adjacent to a new park which is just about ready to open. And Charles River Canoe and Kayak just opened a boat dock off Third Street.

For several years now, Kendall Square has enjoyed its own farmer’s market and outdoor skating rink.

And the Kendall Square Cinema is a long-standing part of the scene. The cinema is known for its commitment to art house and alternative titles. Just this past rainy Saturday my seven-year-old daughter and I walked over to see the new Japanese anime film Ponyo. It was a full house and there were many families with children in attendance.
