Residences off River

Residences off River development in Hyde Park, from B’nai B’rith Housing.

The residences at 1201 River Street will provide service-enriched senior housing in Hyde Park’s Logan Square. The BPDA approved the 100% affordable, 63-unit, age 55+ apartment community in January 2022. Local agencies will provide wellness, educational, cultural, and social programming and services that will enhance the quality of life for the residents. The plan includes ground floor commercial space, an outdoor courtyard with grilling and seating areas, as well as a bocce court.

The development will be an example of efficiency and sustainability achieving DND Zero Emission Buildings requirements as a non-carbon producing all-electric building constructed in accordance with Passive House Certified standards.

Community Need & Public Benefits: With both an aging population and rapidly increasing housing prices, affordable units for this population are more needed today than ever before. The Hyde Park neighborhood has one of the lowest percentages of income-restricted affordable units in Boston at only 7% – compared to 10% in West Roxbury and 21% in Jamaica Plain as of 2020.
