Things to remember when looking for a cheap 2 bedroom apartment in Cambridge, MA

There is a series of factors that determine the price of a rental apartment in Cambridge, MA. Its location is probably at the top of the list. The closer a building is to the city center, or to a public transportation station, the more expensive it is. The same goes for buildings located in popular areas with a high density of quality dining, shopping and entertainment options. That’s because most renters would rather be close to where things are happening, thus creating an increased demand for those apartments. Another determinant is the quality of the building, as in how old it is, how well maintained, what amenities it offers. Similarly, the quality of the apartment unit itself is a factor. A furnished apartment will most certainly cost more than an unfurnished one. One that has newer appliances, or has been remodeled recently, is going to demand a higher price. On the flip side, you can find some really good deals if none of these factors are a priority for you. There are 35 apartment buildings in Cambridge, MA you can explore that offer all types of floor plans, including cheap 2 bedroom apartments.

We lived here for 3 years and really enjoyed it! The team was very responsive with maitenance. Having a weight room was very convenient. We also enjoyed the location on the trail.

We have been living at Linea for over two years. We have nothing but great things to say about our time here. It has been a wonderful experience from the start. The maintenance, amenities and services are always excellent and there is never a need to ask twice. I am very active so having bikeway in my back yard is an added bonus! plus, it is a 10 minute walk to Davis Square, one of my favorite spots.

I love Chroma! Been here from almost the beginning! Hope to stay if I can.

5/5 Diane on Nov 11, 2022

Our apartment is modern and gorgeous. The building and grounds well-maintained. Shout-out to the Leasing Manager Tyler and also to the Grounds Manager Carlos -both are super-kind and responsive. The neighborhood is leafy and friendly. Everyone knows one another, especially if you have a dog. Next to MIT and a short walk to the Charles River, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Central Square, but its still quiet and residential. People renew their leases here. If you have an opportunity to rent an apartment here don't hesitate...
