Large rooms available in an 8-bed, 3.5-bath apartment right on Memorial Drive with waterfront views and walk-to-Harvard convenience. Welcome to 1000 Memorial Dr, Unit #2R an enormous 3,400 sq ft apartment built for people who need space, sunlight, and solid Wi-Fi. Room prices range from $1500 $1700/month and include all utilities heat, hot water, electricity, gas, and high-speed Wi-Fi, no surprises.

Less than 500 steps to Harvard Square. Yes, we counted. International students and students here on visa are absolutely welcome. Legal stuff we must to disclose. Sorry the lawyers made us do it! :) * Unless otherwise stated this listing is an open listing and may be subject to a broker fee. * Prices and availability subject to change without notice. * Square footage definitions vary. Displayed square footage is approximate. Living in Harvard Square means you re basically at the center of the academic universe but with better coffee and weirder street performers. Whether you're a Harvard student rolling out of bed and into class in five minutes, or an MIT genius biking across the river with three prototypes in your backpack, this is where it all clicks. You ve got historic charm and intellectual clout on one corner, bubble tea and thrift shops on the next. Grab an espresso at Tatte, crush your readings at the Smith Center, and debate philosophy (or TikTok trends) on the benches by the T station. Walk to lectures, problem sets, lab meetings, or your part-time biotech hustle without ever needing a car. The Red Line runs straight through here, making it easy to get to Kendall, Central, Downtown Boston, or that one friend who insists on living in Somerville. There s green space along the Charles for your hot-girl walks, late-night food options that somehow taste better at 2am, and bookstores that make you feel smarter just by walking in. Harvard Square is where world-changers live like students and students live like locals. If you're looking to live in a place that s intellectually intense but also wildly vibey this is it.
