Brookline, Mass. - Harvard Terrace

The neighborhoods surrounding Coolidge Corner are filled with beautifully designed and maintained apartment buildings, and CHR buildings are often mistaken for condominium buildings. All of our apartment buildings offer easy access to Coolidge Corner or Washington Square and are meticulously landscaped by Chestnut Hill Realty's horticulture department with a variety of vegetation, including trees, shrubs and flowers. Harvard Terrace is located on Harvard Ave., and acquired the name from the lovely terraced entrance added by CHR. These 43 charming apartments are located within an easy walk to several Brookline parks and Brookline Village. The studio, one and two bedroom homes are close to a variety of restaurants, upscale boutiques and shopping. Residents have ample parking and access to five onsite Zipcars. Since the building was purchased in 2000, improvements have included: replacing windows, reconfiguration of the parking lot, renovating hallways, adding energy controls and water conservation measures such as low flow toilets and adding a new laundry facility.
