Energy-efficient mini-split systems use technology like inverter controls to adjust output based on the precise heating or cooling needs, saving energy by avoiding full-capacity operation. They are also ductless, eliminating energy-wasting ductwork and allowing for zoned cooling and heating, targeting specific areas and reducing energy consumption. Pets are negotiable, subject to owner approval. Tenants pay gas, electricity and water - all utilities are submetered for that specific unit. 1 year lease, end date MAY be negotiable (if looking to end May-Aug), or if you choose the owner does allow sublets (with landlord approving the new applicant) Renting an apartment in Central Square, Cambridge offers a mix of convenience, culture, and city energy. The neighborhood has a lively atmosphere with a blend of historic charm and modern development. It is home to students, professionals, and long-time residents, creating a vibrant and diverse community. The cost of living in Central Square is high, but generally more affordable than Kendall Square or Harvard Square. One-bedroom apartments typically range from $2,500 to $3,500, while two-bedrooms can exceed $4,000 depending on the building and amenities. Many older buildings have spacious layouts with character, while newer developments offer luxury amenities at a premium price. Public transportation is one of Central Square s biggest advantages. The Red Line station provides direct access to nearby universities and downtown Boston. Multiple bus routes run through the area, and dedicated bike lanes make cycling a popular option. Parking can be difficult, but some buildings offer off-street options for a monthly fee. The neighborhood has a strong restaurant and nightlife scene.
