The Esplanade Community Group works for residents of the Esplanade, a condominium building in East Cambridge, Massachusetts. We help residents build community and connect with each other by maintaining this website, publishing regular newsletters and updates, sponsoring events and encouraging community groups.
We are independent of the Esplanade Board of Trustees and management, and are supported solely by the voluntary efforts and contributions of residents.
