It seems as if Cambridge is on the cusp of a serious development wave. This rush will very likely include one of the most anticipated development projects in the country in Kendall Square as well as the more modest redevelopment of the Out of Town News kiosk in Harvard Square.

And, while there are super-expensive areas of this busy, busy Cambridge, there are still pockets where it's not too difficult to find listings for under $1M mark.

This week's open house tour takes you to a fixer-upper in Inman Square, a single-family in Davis Square, and a quintessential triple-decker in North Cambridge.
