Oh, cool! Thanks for the description. No children here, and probably not for some years-- though I definitely wouldn't mind living in a family-friendly place. I might find myself in Cambridge next weekend, so hopefully I'll tour around the area.

I may be attending Harvard Divinity School next fall (Yay!), and would love some more advice about Cambridge, what it's like to live there, what to avoid, where to eat... I really appreciate the previous posts and will keep the suggestions in mind, but if you have any other comments, I'd love to hear them. More specifically, I've looked at Harvard's housing-- does anyone know about Peabody Terrace? It seems like a decent deal from what little I gather about the cost of apartments/utilities in Cambridge generally, but anything from what its like to live there to what's around there (seems like a grocery isn't too far away) would be greatly appreciated.
