moving to Cambridge

[elswyth-thane.livejournal.com]

I am moving to Cambridge around Labor Day, and only know the immediate Harvard Square area. I'd appreciate advice about where in Davis Square to live (or NOT to live) and how to approach the apartment hunt. There seem to be some (relatively speaking) bargains near Kendall Square, which would reduce my commute, but I have alway felt Davis Square had more personality. I assume I should also budget for parking.

Thanks! I am looking forward to returning about 16 years away.

Though looking at the Google satelite photo of an area will give you some sense of what it's like, since you can really see the size and shape and a bit of the style of buildings, as well as seeing the greenspace and street widths.
