Here’s What $550,000 Buys in Cambridge and Somerville Right Now

If you lived somewhere else—somewhere far, far away—$550,000 might buy you a generously sized house with a yard and maybe a garage. But in Cambridge and Somerville, that price tag won’t get you a house at all. Rather, $550,000 is the price of an awfully small condo. Like, less than 900 square feet small.

If you’re house-hunting despite the unfortunate state of the market these days, we’ve rounded up a few options. Ahead, check out what about $550,000 buys in Cambridge and Somerville (if you don’t pay over asking price, that is).
