Property Highlights
The 115-unit property was built in 2012 by AvalonBay Communities and features desirable one-, two-, and three-bedroom floorplans, as well as 29 units with lofts. All floor plans at the property have walk-in closets and washer/dryer appliances.
The units are in original condition as prior ownership added LVT flooring to only 4 (3%) of the apartments, leaving substantial renovation upside at the property. TruAmerica plans to bring the remaining homes to a higher-end finish with the addition of two-tone cabinetry, new quartz countertops with undermount sink, vinyl flooring, updated lighting fixtures, and USB ports in the kitchens. 25% (29 apartment homes) are kept affordable for households earning 50-80% of Area Median Income under Massachusetts’ 40B program.
TruAmerica will also make select upgrades to the exteriors and amenities, including light renovation of the fitness area, as well as adding a keyless entry system to all units, renovating the existing dog park, and upgrading the signage and landscaping.
