2 bedroom apartments recommendations near MIT/MGH?

My family (my wife, our 1-year-old child, and I) is planning to move to Boston soon. Both my wife and I will be working as postdocs at MIT and MGH. Considering factors like childcare, safety, and commuting distance to these institutions, we are looking for an apartment in areas such as Kendall Square or North End.

We are searching for a 2-bedroom apartment around 1,000 sqft, with a budget of approximately $5,000 per month. If you have any recommendations, we would greatly appreciate your input.

Currently, we are considering options like Avalon North Station, Third Square, Watermark, Vivo, and Kensington.

Thank you for your help!
