Hingham, MA According to Alliance Residential, The Cove Hingham has received a Gold 2020 PRISM Award and was named Best Universal Design by the Builders and Remodelers Association of Greater Boston (BRAGB). 

In the design of The Cove, Alliance Residential and architecture firm CUBE 3 paid special attention to the architectural details that would entice residents seeking to enjoy a coastal lifestyle coupled with close proximity to the downtown area.

The buildings include one, two, and three-bedroom units each containing one or two bathrooms.

The Cove provides luxury, South Coast living with modern conveniences. Located across from the Hingham Shipyard and Marina, the property allows convenience to shops, restaurants, and entertainment just steps away.
