Washington Square is a 186-unit condominium association positioned on the Brighton/Brookline line, with a coveted Commonwealth Avenue address that places residents steps from the MBTA Green Line (B) and Whole Foods (formerly Bread & Circus). Over the last 12 months, four units sold at a median price of $374,000, or roughly $750 per square foot, with homes averaging 69 days on market. Monthly HOA fees range from approximately $369.73 to $644.04, reflecting the variety of unit sizes in the community.
The association offers a broad mix, from studios to two-bedroom homes. Studios range from compact single-room units to larger "sleeping alcove" and "two-room" configurations, many with six large windows, high ceilings, and original woodwork. One-bedroom units frequently feature bay or bow windows, spacious living rooms, and generous closet space—some with layouts that allow possible conversion to two bedrooms.
Two-bedroom units are common and often praised for equal-sized bedrooms ideal for roommates, welcoming foyers (sometimes usable as desk or workspace), and open living/kitchen floor plans. Recurring interior features throughout the building include hardwood floors, high ceilings (9 feet noted in some units), original moldings, updated or renovated kitchens (several with granite counters and gas cooking), and renovated baths. Top-floor and front-facing units are especially sought after for their light and quiet.
Location is the defining feature here. The building sits right on the Green Line B (Washington Street Station) with the C line a short walk away, and the 57 bus plus express service to downtown Boston nearby—several listings note "no car needed." Whole Foods, Commonwealth Avenue shopping, and neighborhood restaurants are all within walking distance.
The address is a natural fit for students and staff connected to Boston University and Boston College, and offers convenient access to the Longwood Medical Area. This mix of transit, dining, and academic proximity has made Washington Square a consistent draw for both owner-occupants and investors, with numerous units historically sold with tenants in place.
