Best neighborhoods in Cambridge for families?

We have two kids (4 and 7) and are looking for a family-friendly neighborhood in Cambridge. Budget is around $2742/month for rent. We prioritize good schools and safety. Any recommendations?

Also, are there good parks and activities for kids in the area?

I work in government and finding a job wasn't hard. Took about 5 months.

As someone who moved here from Dallas, I can confirm most of this. The job opportunities surprised me the most.

Good summary. I'd rate it higher personally — maybe 8/10.

Respectfully disagree about the safety concerns. In my experience, there are good opportunities if you network.

Moved here last year. No regrets. The local food is incredible.

Don't sleep on Lakewood. It's up and coming and still affordable.
