Cambridge named Boston’s most in-demand suburb MABA MassachusettsRealEstate FirstTimeHomeBuyers MaBuyerAgent

Cambridge has been named the number one most in-demand suburb in the Boston metro area by moveBuddha. It’s not only the top in-demand suburb in the area, it also is the 21st-most in demand nationally. The publication ranked the 25 most desired suburbs using data from its 2025 moving survey. According to moveBuddha, Cambridge has an “in-to-out move ratio” of 1.39, which measures the ratio of 2025 planned moves in versus planned moves out. A rate above one suggests more people are moving into an area, while less than one shows more residents are leaving, according to the publication.

 Cambridge homes are among the highest valued in its analysis, at $996,603. But that doesn’t deter those who want to live there. Cambridge’s businesses, walkability and the fact it’s located near some of the best universities in the world make it highly desirable.
Using data from its 2025 Moving Survey, moveBuddha found that one in three people desire a move to the suburbs. The publication then analyzed sixty thousand searches for “moves in 2025” to identify the locations Americans are actively planning to move to this year. Summerville, South Carolina was the most desired suburb to move to, followed by Meridian, Idaho and St. Augustine, Florida. Vancouver, Washington and Frisco, Texas rounded out the top five.
