55 Harvard Ave

A low-rise, single-story residential courtyard building constructed in 1946, Harvard Gardens comprises primarily two-bedroom condominium homes arranged around a professionally landscaped common green. The architecture reflects mid-century sensibilities with straightforward massing, large windows and modest decorative details; many units are top-floor or parlor-level flats. Interiors typically feature hardwood floors, high ceilings, defined living and dining areas, well-sized primary bedrooms with ample closets, and practical kitchens and baths—some recently updated—plus in-unit laundry in several residences. Shared spaces emphasize outdoor living: a sheltered balcony or porch for many homes, a large landscaped courtyard, covered patios and planted garden beds. Onsite services include professional management and a superintendent; the property is certified de-leaded. Resident conveniences comprise deeded off-street garage parking (assigned spots), private basement storage lockers, and common laundry options. The building sits on a quiet, one-way side street between Coolidge Corner and Brookline Village, offering immediate access to Green Line stops, neighborhood schools, parks, shops and frequent transit to Boston and the Longwood Medical Area. Pets are permitted and the community fosters a neighborly, urban-suburban lifestyle.
