Can you get brainier through osmosis? Test that hypothesis by taking up residence at 975 Memorial Drive. Harvard's main campus is right down the road, its John F. Kennedy School of Government is practically next-door. The apartment's gorgeous, glass-enclosed living room is a scene stealer, as are the primo views of the adjacent parkland and, just beyond that, the Charles. The 3-BR, 3-BA, 1,945-square-foot duplex also has a master suite with its own study and marble bath, a shared patio, a concierge, garage parking and hotel services provided by the nearby Charles Hotel. All yours, provided you're prepared to pay the not-so-scanty asking price of $2,435,000. Harvard Business School offers classes in the art of negotiation, right? — Rachel Lebeaux
