Where the City Softens

A doorstep
worth keeping.

Everything that makes a place feel like home is already within reach of Ivy No. 11.

The Setting
The Location

Step out to Harvard Square dining, Fresh Pond, and the Red Line.

Ivy No. 11 stands in Cambridge's Neighborhood Nine / Observatory Hill — a sought-after residential enclave of tree-lined streets and historic character, set between Harvard Square, Porter Square, and Fresh Pond. It is one of Greater Boston's most supply-constrained and resilient markets, anchored by world-class institutions and a highly educated community where more than eight in ten residents hold a bachelor's degree or higher.

The Red Line at Porter and Harvard is roughly five minutes away, with the commuter rail at Porter and Davis Square a short hop beyond. Garden Street, Concord Avenue, Route 2, the Mass Pike, and I-93 keep the rest of the region close — downtown Boston and Logan Airport are each about twenty minutes. Nearby, Fresh Pond, Danehy Park, Cambridge Common, and the Asa Gray Garden offer open space within reach, while Harvard, Lesley, and MIT/Kendall Square sit at the center of the area's research and life-science economy.
