Buying a Condo in Inman Square

While many areas around Cambridge are full of large condo complexes with 30, 50, or even more units in a building, a large chunk of condos in Inman Square tend to be of the 2 or 3 family variety. So if you prefer a small association with just one or two other neighbors, targeting a condo in Inman Square could be a wise choice. 

In terms of what you can get for your money in Inman Square, here’s how I think of things based on 2025 data and my personal experiences:

Generally for between $600k and $750k you will be looking at either a 1 or 2-bed condo and most of the time the unit will be what I call investor quality. Think of your typical unit in a 2 or 3-family that has not been updated to “owner occupied quality” - meaning oftentimes the kitchens aren’t updated or updates cut corners. Same goes for the bathrooms. Oftentimes laundry is in the basement for these units and oftentimes there is no central A/C. Square footage is typically 500-800 square feet at this price point. If you are on a tight budget and your goal is to get into the market and be in an incredible Cambridge location, these are a great place to start. 

The next chunk of condos I see in Inman Square is roughly $900k to $1.1M, generally this is where we start to see nicer 2 bed 1 bath units, with updated kitchens and bathrooms. Central AC and laundry in-unit becomes more typical as does parking. Square footage starts to go up around here, usually I see around 900-1250 square feet. Overall the units tend to be in better condition and well cared for. 

In the $1.2M to $1.5M range we start to see more units that are 2 bed 2 baths, 3 bed 2 baths, and occasionally 3 bed 3 baths. In this price range, I see some units that remain around 900-1250 square feet and are really, really nice throughout (as-in large quartz islands, true ensuite bathrooms with lots of nice finishing work, etc) as well as some units that are more like 1500-1600 square feet.

Finally on the high-end in Inman Square I typically see condos in the $1.8M to $2.2M range, these tend to be large condos that are 1,800-2,400 square feet, with 3 to 4 bedrooms, and in excellent condition throughout with an excellent layout as well.
