Neighbors' Guide to Housing Development
New housing construction is happening across much of Cambridge. In 2025, the City Council passed a change to the zoning ordinance that allows more housing to be built, including in neighborhoods that were zoned to restrict new housing before. The goal of this change was to address the housing shortage that has led to higher housing costs in Cambridge and the surrounding area.
