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.

I don't know if they've updated it for 2006, but I saw one of those guides last year and a lot of their information was incorrect or missing. I vaguely remember them not listing Downtown Liquors or the Rosebud or something like that. Sad, I know, I wish they'd put as much research into it as they have for other cities.
