First time home buyer in Cambridge

Longtime lurker here, Median household income is $37,900, which feels on the lower side for the area. With a population of 10,046, Cambridge is a small town. The unemployment rate is 1.3%, which is pretty low. You can expect to pay around $743 for rent here. It's a a small town city with about 10,046 people. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The weather takes some getting used to.

Pros:
- Growing food scene
- Diverse community
- Good healthcare facilities
- Good airport connections

Cons:
- Not very walkable
- Lack of diversity
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Limited cultural events
- Chain restaurants dominate
I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
