Why you want it: Having both grown up in New England, we’re always drawn to historic buildings, particularly ones repurposed and given a second life.  The Millbrook Lofts are a perfect example of this, done in truly exquisite fashion.  These loft style apartments outside of Boston have been converted from a century-old cold storage building.  The blend of brand new high-end finishes and appliances with dramatic and industrial original architectural details makes this a truly unique living experience.  Additional perks of life at Millbrook include an onsite fitness center, resident lounge, rooftop deck, garage parking, electric car charging stations and a bicycle repair room!

Good to know: Easy access to Boston from this location is a great perk, but Somerville stands as a true walker’s paradise in its own right.  With groceries right next door, a mall down the street and Cambridge just a short jaunt away, you really have all you need right outside your door.
