The following information is taken from a package done in cooperation between the CCC and the City of Cambridge. For additional information about living and working in Cambridge, call the City of Cambridge Community Development Department at (617) 349-4600.
The Intelligent Choice
The city's uniqueness begins with Harvard and MIT, world-renowned academic centers within two miles of each other. Add to that the fact that Cambridge is situated at one of America's oldest international gateways and it becomes clear why Cambridge has evolved into a city of many distinctive neighborhoods and cultures, rich in history and tradition, and crackling with the energy of new enterprises.
An Accommodating City
People from all over the world find the social atmosphere and the climate of Cambridge equally inviting: mild springs and sunny summers along the Charles River, spectacularly colorful autumns, and snowy winters. The result is a city where every ethnic group feels at home, where nearly sixty languages are spoken in the public schools, and where citizenship has meaning.
Active Days and Nights
A dozen major museums of art and science, hundreds of restaurants for nearly as many cuisines, resident theater companies, adult education, jazz, rock and classical music at the clubs and the universities, cinema retrospectives, a variety of hotels, parks and playgrounds—in short, Cambridge provides everything you'd expect to find in a vibrant international city. Within two hours of the city are wholly different adventures—to the north, skiing; to the south, summer getaways on Cape Cod; to the west, the Berkshire Mountains and the music of Tanglewood; to the east, fishing and sailing the Atlantic.
A Working City
The East Coast's leading center for biotechnology, Cambridge is also a primary source for software development, medical technology, business consulting, telecommunications, and many other emerging technologies as well as forward-looking professional services.
A City of Young Ideas
Cambridge is an even more stimulating environment for children, who benefit from excellent choices in public and private education and the abundant cultural influences on every phase of daily life.
