Buying a Condo in Davis Square

As of this writing (12/15/2025), there were only 26 condos that were very close to Davis Square center. All but five were on the Somerville line, but occasionally I do see units that pop up in Cambridge (but as you can tell from this data, it doesn’t happen too often). 

Generally, you’ll find “investor grade” condos for under $750k and they usually come in either 1 bed or 2 bed flavors. Investor grade means to me they are typically not updated or have lower end updated kitchens and bathrooms. Around Davis Square, these lower price point condos tend to be a mix of mid-rise buildings with a few dozen units OR 2 to 3-families that were converted to condos. 

The next range is typically the $750k to $1.1M range and this is where you typically find very nicely updated 2 beds and occasionally very nice 1-bed units (mostly the 1-beds at this price point and higher will be located at One Tannery Brook complex, full of stunning lofts along the bike path). Most of these are in converted two or three families that were converted to condos. At this price point you are more likely to get a parking spot, central A/C, and/or washer/dryer in-unit along with those nicer finishes.

From around $1.2M to $1.8M range, you are going to see your larger 3 or 4-bed units, often times with 1,800 or more square feet of living area and most of the amenities most buyers care about, but with more refined finishes, whether it’s a gut renovation or a Somerville home with “character” where those unique details are preserved and improved. At these higher price points you are more likely to get the best streets - meaning quiet, tree-line streets that are only a block or two to the heart of Davis Square too.
