Porter Square straddles the Cambridge and Somerville line; its location can be missed by the first time passerby. Located on a Redline MBTA train stop between Harvard and Davis Square, this location has much to offer to those interested in renting a home or apartment. The restaurants are great and the health club options may be enough for some, but don’t miss out on the eclectic stores that line Massachusetts Avenue on the way to Harvard Square. Take a step off Massachusetts Avenue on the Cambridge side and the large historic houses will amaze you. Apartment and home rentals here include large homes, pre-war apartment buildings and two family homes, while the Somerville side is predominately two and three family homes for rent.
