Make Life Central in a 10-Minute Village
Posted: Dec 02, 2020
10-Minute Village is a community concept also seen in Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Hamburg, and Helsinki. It not only reduces reliance on cars, but also promotes wellness with walkability to everything you need to live, work, and play. Whether you’re walking, biking, or riding the T, everything you need can be found in our own 10-Minute Village!
On foot? Harvard Square, Kendall Square, and MIT are within walking distance of Central Square.
Riding public transit? We’re located directly on the major thoroughfare of Mass Ave, just feet from the Central station on the MBTA Red Line. Harvard Square and Kendall/MIT are each one stop in either direction; Park Street in downtown Boston and Davis Square in Somerville are a few additional stops. If you’re boarding a larger bus or catching the airport shuttle, you can reach South Station in 10 minutes from Central as well. Bus routes CT1, 1, 47, 64, 70, 70A, 83, 91 and two EZRide shuttles are all within three blocks.
Prefer a set of wheels? On-site bike parking and bike-share programs provide another convenient way to get around. In the case you do drive, nearby access to six local and regional highways make car travel quick and easy.
