PUBLIC TRANSIT: 77 Bus - Harvard Sq./Arlington Heights. This connects to the Red line at both Harvard & Porter squares. Take the 77 to the first stop in Arlington. This is right after a major intersection (Alewife Brook Parkway-Rt. 16) with a traffic light & a Mobile station on the left. Press the stop request buzzer when you pass the Mobile Station. You'll see a sign in the middle of the street saying "Welcome to Arlington", the stop is just after that in front of the Homewood Suites Hotel. (If you miss the stop, the next stop is only 1 1/2 blocks down.) Continue walking in the direction the bus was going and take the first right (Henderson). Take the first right (Cottage Ave.). We are the last house on the left.
88 Bus - Lechmere/Claredon Hill or 89 Bus Sullivan Station/Claredon Hill Take the bus all the way to Claredon Hill.

Redline - Alewife to Bus (350 Alewife-Burlington or 79 Alewife-Arlington Heights). Check the schedules before trying this route. The buses run frequently on weekdays between 7am & 7pm and not at all on Sunday evenings. Follow the "exit to buses" signs to the bus bays. Take the bus to the first stop, which comes immediately after the Bus makes a left turn onto Massachusetts Ave. Both both buses stop at the same place.

Continue walking in the direction the bus was going and take the first right (Henderson). Take the first right (Cottage Ave.). We are the last house on the left.
Redline - Alewife and walk. The house is a 10-15 minute walk from Alewife. Exit the station through the main entrance (the one that also leads to the Buses). Go through the exit doors to the station and go straight ahead up the stairs or ramp. When you reach the street, turn right and walk to the corner. There is a cross walk that takes you across the street to the bike path. Cross the street and follow the bike path or the sidewalk (which rejoins the bike bath shortly) and go through the highway underpass. After the underpass, you'll pass a wetlands on your right and then see several concrete barriers. Turn right at the concrete barriers. That puts you on Thorndike street, which starts out as dirt and then becomes paved. Follow Thorndike street to the traffic light (Massachusetts Ave). Cross Mass Ave. Turn right. Go one block and make a left on Henderson. Take the first right (Cottage Ave.). We are the last house on the left.
