The Basics

Situated in a 20-story building that was constructed in the early 1970s, this development houses more than 250 apartments. Available in a dizzying array of floor plans, they include one-, two- and three-bedroom units. Surprisingly secluded given the urban nature of the city of Cambridge, this development offers an array of prime amenities and services. Apartments in this building tend to run larger than those in places like downtown Boston and even elsewhere in Cambridge, so they offer considerable value.

Building Amenities

Residents of this popular West Cambridge building enjoy access to a host of thoughtful amenities and services. If you are comparing and contrasting different options in this city, you’re sure to find that this building tops the list in terms of extras. Some of the most notable amenities and services offered here include:

• Fitness center – Sure, most apartment buildings have fitness centers these days. However, the one in this development is truly state of the art because it was designed to accommodate a fairly large population. Odds are that you can safely bid adieu to that expensive gym membership after becoming a resident here.
• Secluded location – This development is situated near the far end of West Cambridge. While the city is sprawled out to one side, more than two miles of bucolic landscapes stretch out in the other direction. While on the grounds, in fact, it’s easy to forget that you’re so close to such a major city.
• Designer lobby – While it doesn’t technically provide anything tangible in terms of benefits, the gorgeous designer lobby in this building is a nice thing to come home to every day. It certainly beats the bland, often even unattractive lobbies and foyers that are found in many older buildings.
• Garage parking – With more than 250 apartment homes, this development was never designed to be able to accommodate so many vehicles. However, garage parking is available for an additional monthly fee. Please note that a limited number of spaces is available, so even renting a space here isn’t always possible.
• 24-hour services – As massive as this building is, it makes sense that maintenance is on-site and available around the clock. Based on online reviews by current and former tenants, it appears that maintenance here is generally reliable. As an added bonus, this development has 24-hour concierge services, so someone is always available to assist residents.
• Cats only – Most large apartment developments in greater Boston have fairly liberal pet policies. Dogs and cats are both typically welcome. Unfortunately, this building only accepts cats. If you own a dog, contact Boston City Properties for a referral to an agent who can help you locate a nearby building that does. Otherwise, note that there is a two-pet limit here, and pet care services are available.

Apartment Features

What can you expect in terms of apartment features in this popular West Cambridge development? While this building is bursting at its seams with amenities, its units are a bit less upscale than many others at this price point. However, they have been extensively upgraded and renovated through the years, and they offer generous amounts of space in most cases.

Some of the most common features of apartments in this development include:

• Tiled foyer – This may seem like a small thing, but foyers in most units in this building feature nice tile flooring. Rather than step inside and right onto soft, easy-to-stain carpet, then, you step in onto an easy-to-clean tile floor.
• Gourmet kitchen – With stainless steel appliances, elegant ceramic tile floors and upscale cabinets and countertops, kitchens in these apartments are well deserving of being called “gourmet.”
• High-end carpeting – Unlike many modern Cambridge apartment buildings, units in this one don’t offer hardwood flooring throughout. Most rooms are carpeted, but truly high-end, luxury carpeting is used.
• Open floorplans – Depending on when you look for an apartment in this building, you may be able to take your pick from a truly confusing array of floorplans and other options. One thing that all floorplans in this building share in common is that they are open and spacious. In addition to making these units look and feel roomier, these open floors plans offer a lot more flexibility, ensuring that residents can arrange their furniture and other belongings as they see fit.
