- Right at the crossroads of Massachusetts Avenue and Somerville Avenue, Porter Square Shopping Center is a familiar and well-loved part of Cambridge life. With over 17,000 cars passing by each day and the Porter Square MBTA station just steps away, it’s a place where convenience meets community. - The center sees over 2.8 million visits a year, and it’s not just about foot traffic—it’s about the deep connection people have to this destination. For many in the neighborhood, Porter Square Shopping Center isn’t just where they shop; it’s part of their weekly rhythm, a familiar spot where routines unfold and memories are made. Locals return often—averaging 6.5 visits annually—whether it’s for groceries at one of the state’s top-performing Star Market locations, grabbing a bite with friends, or simply taking care of everyday errands.
