This community, which is merely 10 minutes from Boston provides quite a bit of outdoor space, but it is also easy to access the city.

This property came to be when the 10 acres in front of the river became the focus of a renovation project to bring the park back to the wildlife and the people in the community.
As a community that is dedicated to green living, the park continues to thrive, and it is open to the public from every day until the sun sets. Keeping with the green living concept, all of the apartments have Energy Star appliances that are designed to reduce the amount of energy that is required to run them. The windows are low energy, which means that they are designed to keep the heat in during the winter and the cool air in during the summer. In addition, the thermostats for each apartment are located in a convenient area of the home so that is can easily be programmed to save more energy.
Each floor of the building is designed with recycling chutes for the residents to use that are designed to make it easier to recycle. The roof of the building is landscaped so that it reduces runoff when there is a storm, and the pools in the community are even heated with a solar panel.
Garage parking is available for residents, but for those who prefer to take public transportation daily, there are quite a few options in the area.
