The approximately 1,500-square-foot house at 21 Winter Street in East Cambridge is being offered for $699,900. It is a fixer-upper, to be sure, with no interior photos available. But it is rare to find a single-family in East Cambridge for this price.

Harvard Square

We end in Harvard Square, where Unit 4 at 4 Chauncy Terrace is asking $650,000—far off from $700,000, yes, but this Cambridge, where prices are high and the inventory slim. The 670-square-foot one-bedroom, one-bathroom comes with additional storage in the building.
