Harvard Square

As the name implies, Harvard Square is a neighborhood located near Harvard University in the city of Cambridge, next to Boston. Previously a neighborhood commercial center, the area is now a regional shopping destination, with upscale shops lining the streets. AMAZING public transit connections are present at the square, with Harvard Station being the third busiest in the system. All of the trolleybus routes left in the city of Boston, frequent regular bus routes, five of the fifteen key bus routes, and both the Ashmont and Braintree branches of the Red Line all meet here. The neighborhood also includes nice parks, small businesses, and pleasant houses and apartment buildings. Harvard University dominates the area. Although the neighborhood is not too diverse, it is still nice and lively, so a pretty good neighborhood.
