A Dorchester Avenue community

Dot Block offers studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. Use the public leasing address at 1211 Dorchester Avenue when planning a visit.

Savin Hill on the Red Line is a local transit reference. Compare the actual route from the apartment building you are considering.

What to check in a floor plan

Apartment features include quartz counters, stainless appliances, in-home washers and dryers and programmable thermostats. Direct-entry homes, balconies, terraces and kitchen islands are available in select layouts.

Ask which of those features belongs to the available apartment, and look at dimensions rather than relying on a model-home photograph.

Shared spaces for daily use

The community lists a pool deck, fitness and yoga spaces, coworking areas, resident lounges, pet facilities, storage and garage parking. Confirm current access and any additional charges.

Tell Boston City Properties your move-in timing, bedroom needs and budget. Include must-haves such as private outdoor space or parking so your rental inquiry is specific.
