Our top moving tips when moving to Cambridge, Massachusetts

New Yorkers moving to Cambridge will notice the New England vibe here is strong. All the best of the region can be found in the area, including spectacular vistas, rich history and a healthy lifestyle.

One factor that compares to New York is the cost of living in this highly sought after centre. Some of the highlights you should know when moving to Cambridge include:

  • Local economy. Cambridge has a strong local economy and jobs market separate to Boston, with the education sector leading the local employment options. Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of technology are the top 2 employers in the city, followed by biotechnology, health and research industries. Notable companies to be found in Cambridge include Takeda Pharmaceuticals, Biogen, Pfizer, Novartis, Google, and Vertica. Non profit groups also thrive in the region along with think tanks such as the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy and the National Bureau of Economic Research. In less than 5 miles, most locals can also commute to Boston for other employment options via the public transit system known as ‘the T’.
  • Leading education. Cambridge is best known as an intellectual centre. More than 100 Nobel Peace Prize winners’ careers intersected a university in Cambridge at some point. Beyond the top performers of MIT and Harvard in the area are the Hult International Business School, Lesley University, Cambridge School of Culinary Arts, Longy School of Music of Bard College and of course close proximity to further prestigious colleges across the river in Boston. Cambridge’s already high performing public schools adopted an Innovation Agenda to further improve engagement. High quality private schools in the city include Shady Hill, Fayerweather Street and Cambridge Friends.
  • City of Squares. Most of Cambridge’s commercial districts are centred around intersections, with each square acting as a neighborhood hub. These include: Kendall Square, Harvard Square, Central Square, Lafayette Square, Inman Square and Porter Square. Kendall Square is also home to the technology square building cluster, with most of Cambridge’s office towers located here.
  • Cost of living. House prices in Cambridge are about 25% higher than the rest of the state and the cost of living is about 30% higher than the national average. The city’s Sales Tax is higher than that in New York and Vermont, and it has one of the second highest flat income tax rates in the country. On the upside the crime rate here is 24% lower than the national average so wherever you plant roots, your lifestyle will be worth it.
  • Culture. People travel from all over the world to visit some of the landmarks in Cambridge including its historic buildings and museums. The Harvard Art Museums, American Repertory Theatre, the former home of American Poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and the Gothic styled Sanders Theatre are amongst them. For enjoying the great outdoors, Fish Pond Reservation has a 155 acre lake and more than 2 miles of trails. With so many young people and students in the city, it’s no surprise there are more than enough nightspots to keep you busy after dark including the Comedy Studio.

    From start to finish my move was a great experience. I immediately got a quote. The scheduling was easy, and they provided me with information regarding insurance coverage (and took care of the paperwork my building provided). The move itself went like clockwork. The movers arrived on time and texted me when they were on their way with an ETA to the delivery site. They moved everything up the 3 flights of stairs into my apartment quickly and safely. A great company that provides great service at very reasonable rates.

    They were awesome! They take everything apart and then re assemble for you.They wrap up your tvs and glass shit professionally. They take the legs off your couch so it fits through doors. Everything's wrapped until it's inside so it doesn't ruin the paint on your walls if they rub against them.Not even a wine glass was chipped.

    They came at zero hour after the moving company I initially hired and paid a deposit to canceled. I was freaking out about my move not happening at all but they did get this done and my stuff arrived more or less intact and accounted for. They handled changes and snafus gracefully and earned their money. Hopefully I won't be moving again for a long time but if I get forced into that again, I'll remember this experience.

    Was very easy to call and set up a move. The price was good to. I had some mix-ups and needed to add items and even change the date, but they were able to easily accommodate. Day of the move the crew was super nice and professional. They quickly packed up the entire apartment with ease, I didn't really lift a finger. They made what is usually a stressful day pretty easy.

    I was amazed how efficient the guys were. they sorted out my items to be removed and, went straight to work. We will definitely use A Piece of Cake multiple times in the future until, we officially make the BIG MOVE! THANKS FOR YOUR HELP....YES, IT WAS A PIECE OF CAKE! NO STRESS INVOLVED...JUST SWEET SERVINGS.....

    Piece of Cake Moving was phenomenal to work with. From the initial sale, to the follow up, to the day of delivery. The moving crew themselves were a dream to work with. I honestly don't know how they managed to move everything we'd accumulated over the years in such a short (relatively) period of time. Will definitely use them again (in hopefully 7-8 years).

    Jose and his team did a great job moving my husband and I. They arrived on time and were very organized. They were professional, courteous and moved us quickly. They wrapped our furniture very well. They took apart and put together our bed and sectional couch. We were very pleased and would recommend them.

    Nicholas and Giga made this moving experience an easy one, especially since I was moving alone. They were punctual, kind and very thoughtful. When we arrived to my apartment? They helped unwrap all the packing tape and set up my furniture and bed - something that would take probably days for me. They delivered excellent service and went beyond my expectations.

    Excellent moving company. I hired 2 men for 2 hours to complete 1 bedroom move. They arrived early, were extremely efficient, helpful, personable, strong, and careful. They finished the job with 45 min to spare. Everything went extremely smoothly. I would hire Piece of Cake again.

    Great move with POC movers! I rented their pink bins which was an excellent choice, they provide plenty of packing paper, zip ties, and tags. My team arrived right at the start of their arrival window and quickly and safely packed all my bins and furniture into their truck. The team just as efficiently unloaded everything, leaving the bins in the labeled rooms and re assembling my bed frame. I definitely recommend renting their bins. I would definitely use Piece of Cake movers again and recommend them to a friend.

    The movers were so professional, friendly and quick. They took such great care of my stuff. I happened to move on one of the hottest days of the year and felt so bad. They were gracious and so still worked quickly. Pls make sure you tip your movers good, they work hard and were really great!

    I had made an appointment from another moving company that completely screwed me over the day of. I called every moving company in New York freaking out, and Piece of Cake was willing to come at 7pm to help me move, last minute. I genuinely don't know what I would have done if they didn't go out of their way to fit me in. Anytime in the future I will be using piece of cake moving! They boxed and unboxed so fast and efficiently, it was amazing!
