This doesn't mention the countless support staff that work at both institutions.

When to Search

As a town that is completely dependent on higher education, it should go almost without saying that the apartment market is also completely depending on the post-secondary institutes within town. When the MIT and Harvard graduates start leaving Cambridge in May and June of each year, that is the time to swoop in and start picking over their apartments.

Most landlords in Cambridge will expect you to have some sort of ties to one of the schools within town. Because the schools are so important, supervisors or professors make excellent references on rental applications. If you're not a student, an employment reference will be important for securing an apartment.
