Irving House is located close to one of the oldest areas of Harvard University, Harvard Yard. Across “the yard ” is Harvard Square, the commercial center where theaters, restaurants and shops all offer hours and days of diversions. Irving House is also within walking distance of Inman Square, which has a more local vibe. It, too, has great restaurants, pubs and shops. Not far away is Central Square which is also a transit center with buses going to adjacent towns. There you can find a variety of shopping, dining and theater options that suit most needs. Kendall Square and Porter Square are also not far from us. The options are endless~!
