269 Harvard St

A low-rise, garden-style condominium complex constructed in 1965 and set within mid-Cambridge, this predominantly one-story brick development houses one-bedroom units arranged around landscaped courtyards and enclosed patios. The architecture is straightforward midcentury brickwork with modest ornamentation and a well-maintained exterior; buildings are typically elevator-served despite the low profile and include shared walkways and small planting beds. Units generally feature parquet or carpeting, a separate kitchen and bath that many owners have modernized over time, individual storage, and access to common laundry facilities. The association is established and professionally managed, maintaining exterior upkeep, a parking lot with deeded spaces, and enclosed outdoor patios for private use. Pet policies are permissive in many units, and condo fees cover basic building maintenance. Located within easy walking distance of Central and Harvard Squares, the Red Line, MIT and local groceries and restaurants, the complex emphasizes practical, transit-oriented living and steady, well-documented management rather than high-end finishes or luxury services.
