Definitely. I'm a 10 minute walk from Davis and Porter Square, and there are plenty of places for $2,000 / month, w/ 4 bedrooms. Diesel Cafe, in Davis, has plenty of startup people hanging out there on a regular basis. And Viximo and some other startups have office space around here. You're right on the red line, so it's easy to get out to any of the more active (but more expensive) areas like Harvard Square or Kendall Square (where MIT is + the Cambridge Innovation Center and the upcoming Venture Cafe). Check out the LJ community: http://community.livejournal.com/davis_square http://community.livejournal.com/davis_square Central Square has TechStars and several startup offices (e.g. oneforty). Central also has betahouse, the best coworking spot in Cambridge / Boston. And you can find places in Central Square that are similarly cheap. But Central Square is probably a bit less safe.
