About Aggasiz-Harvard
University
Aggasiz-Harvard University, located between Harvard Square and Porter Square, is a residential and academic Cambridge neighborhood with brick collegiate architecture and leafy side streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Massachusetts Avenue at Harvard Square, where book-lined cafes, indie shops, and late-night eateries keep the sidewalks in motion. The Harvard Art Museums, American Repertory Theater, and The Harvard Coop act as cultural anchors with daily foot traffic. North of the Square, Victorian and triple-decker homes mix with university buildings and pocket parks. Cambridge Common and the Radcliffe Quadrangle add long lawns and shaded paths. Bike lanes and frequent buses stitch Mass Ave, Garden Street, and Kirkland Street into a walkable grid.
