The Port — also called Old Port or Area 4 — is a bustling neighborhood in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Thanks to the nearby Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus, it’s also home to many tech workers and students.
And although it’s primarily a residential neighborhood, with around 7,000 people living here, there is no shortage of things to do in The Port.
Some of the most frequented spots in The Port are:
The Port is somewhat young, so it’s not uncommon to see new shops and eateries popping up throughout the area. It wasn’t until the late 1800s that The Port came into existence — the neighborhood was built after part of the Charles River was landfilled.
Because of its proximity to the Charles River and the re-establishment of older buildings in the area, many property owners are no stranger to common pests.

Termites are any homeowner’s worst nightmare. They are small, breed into the thousands, and quietly chew away at your home’s infrastructure for years, costing hundreds to thousands of dollars in repairs by the time most people finally notice their presence.
That’s why it’s essential to get your home surveyed every year by a termite control expert. The team at Greenhow will inspect your property for termites and eliminate any problems.
One of the most frustrating parts about living on the Charles River is that surrounding towns get humid, which attracts mosquitoes and ticks. The worst thing about these pests is that they have the potential to carry dangerous illnesses like West Nile virus and Lyme disease.
Be sure to get your property treated every spring or summer to keep these pests at bay.
You work hard to keep your plants healthy, but what do you do when they yellow and wilt no matter how much you water and care for them?
The culprit is often treatable, whether it’s down to nutrient problems or pests munching on your plant leaves throughout the day. However, plants are delicate and require special care, which is why you should reach out to the pros at Greenhow — we’re experts in all things plant care.
Rodents like rats and mice are usually harmless from afar. But when they make your home theirs, it’s an entirely different story. They can spread diseases like salmonella, and with their constantly-growing incisor teeth, they can destroy your home’s infrastructure and wiring.
Unfortunately, getting rid of pests like these is no easy task if you don’t have the right tools, treatments, and pest knowledge. That’s why it’s a task best left to the pest control experts at Greenhow.
