West Cambridge is primarily residential yet shares its space with some commercial buildings and public spaces, including Mount Auburn Hospital and the Cambridge Cemetery.
Home sizes in West Cambridge vary from palatial penthouses to condominiums. Many houses were built in the early 1900s, and styles include Greek Revival, Colonial, and Queen Anne.
