Coincidently (?), the Globe & Herald both have stories about the Riverside neighborhood, in Cambridge.
Odd, I thought it was known as “Cambridgeport”, but maybe it’s just Realtor-speak.
Long a working-class enclave between the Charles River and Central Square, Riverside is going upscale, and the long-testy relationship between residents and neighbor Harvard University has improved dramatically …
Riverside’s combination of convenient location and rich, quirky architecture are drawing affluent young professionals, who cite Riverside’s offbeat funkiness as one of the chief draws.
Both articles make mention of a new condo complex at 290 Riverside (off Memorial Drive, where the Whole Foods market is located). (Prices in the $400/SF range, btw.)
The townhouses are grouped among seven buildings that all face inward to a landscaped parking court. Each unit features a small garden and garage parking. Prices range from $464,900 for a two-bedroom, one-and-a-half bath to $549,000 for a three-bedroom, two-bath corner unit. The first phase is nearing completion and the second phase has not yet started, but 50 percent of the units in each phase are already under contract.
