The exterior photograph shows the building as it appeared on Boston City Properties’ original guide. It is a building photograph, not a photograph of an apartment currently available to rent.
A rental home in a former factory
Baker Chocolate Factory Apartments is a rental community at 1220 Adams Street in Dorchester’s Lower Mills. Its converted mill buildings bring exposed brick, wood beams and distinctive layouts to a riverside setting. Studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments and lofts are offered; the floor plans available for your move-in date need to be checked.
The factory buildings give the apartments a different feel from a purpose-built high-rise. Layouts, ceiling heights, windows and outlooks vary, so compare the actual apartment rather than relying on a photograph of another home. If you want a loft, ask how the sleeping and living areas are arranged.
Apartment features and shared spaces
The property’s current information lists stainless-steel appliances and central air conditioning alongside its retained brick and wood details. Ask which features belong to the apartment you are considering, including its storage, laundry arrangements and any private entrance.
- Fitness center with 24-hour access.
- Resident parking and building elevators; confirm parking availability and charges.
- Package lockers and controlled building access.
- Outdoor areas including a bark park, barbecue and picnic space, a firepit and a gazebo.
Before choosing an apartment
Tell us your move-in date, budget, preferred bedrooms and whether you have pets. Mention any essentials such as a particular floor, an elevator-accessible route, parking or laundry inside the apartment so those can be checked for the home itself.
Ask for the current rent, lease length, included utilities and any additional charges. Pet rules, parking arrangements and apartment finishes can change. A published floor plan or building feature does not mean a matching apartment is available today.
