The Quad is located near the Alewife T Station, the anchor of the MBTA’s Red Line, which connects West Cambridge, Harvard Sq., Kendall Sq. and the Seaport.  The Quad’s neighborhood also presents a live/work/play dynamic with an amenity base, including Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Starbucks and Chipotle and over 20 restaurants.
