Cambridgeport, Cambridge, Massachusetts

[1] The neighborhood contains predominantly residential homes, many of the triple decker style common in New England.

Central Square, at the northernmost part of Cambridgeport, is an active commercial district and transportation hub, and University Park is a collection of renovated or recently constructed office and apartment buildings.

The neighborhood also includes Fort Washington Park, several MIT buildings, and Magazine Beach.

Portions of the neighborhood would have been demolished as part of the Inner Belt highway project first planned in 1948[3] but canceled in 1971 after intense protests organized by community activists, and following Gov.

The original plan called for the Interstate to parallel Brookline Street to the Boston University Bridge,[4] although at least one other alignment was also considered.
