MIT and Harvard are there, which, depending on specialty, are two of the best places in the world to do math. In addition, it’s a big finance and tech town, so plenty of non-academic math to be done, too.
Allston pokes into Cambridge. Cambridge surrounds Allston. West of Cambridge is Arlington, Watertown or Belmont. Southwest of Cambridge is still Watertown.
As for Bunker Hill, Somerville is North-East of Cambridge. Only a tiny slice of Cambridge connects to Bunker Hill. The rest of the North-East border is all Somerville.
Boston is South-West of Cambridge, that’s the real story. It surrounds part of it on 1 side in one area because the Charles river curls around Cambridgeport, then it curls the other way and Cambridge surrounds part of Allston.

MIT and Harvard are in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which is a different city on the opposite side of the Charles river.

Which 3 sides?
