Union Place is a low-rise, single-story-to-multi-level condominium community completed in 2002 and developed by David Aposhian. The cluster of townhome-style and studio units uses natural materials—notably cedar shingle exteriors, dark green trim and generous landscaping—to create a village-like setting with winding brick walkways, cobble stone walls, granite seating and curated plantings. Interiors vary from compact, efficient studios to three-level, 2–3 bedroom townhouses with features such as hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings on upper levels, spiral staircases, loft-like volumes, in-unit laundry hookups or access to communal laundry, and practical galley kitchens. Common outdoor areas include private patios, a landscaped courtyard with BBQ amenities, decorative lighting and stone walls that reinforce a tranquil, garden-forward environment. The community emphasizes energy sensitivity and pedestrian orientation; some units benefit from views toward the Boston skyline. Parking is handled through garage options nearby (rental available) and deed restrictions limit investor ownership to preserve affordability. Pet policies are permissive and routine condo fees commonly cover heat, hot water and shared laundry. The complex sits between Inman and Union Squares, within walking distance of transit connections, shops, and restaurants, blending urban convenience with a residential, small-scale character.
