Chestnut Hill, MA is a historic village just a few miles outside of Boston, and has become a popular place to call home for a variety of people. While it is mostly known for being home to Boston College University, Chestnut Hill has established itself as an “urban village” with great public transportation, a ton of great restaurants and shops, and world class apartments. One community is an urban village in its own right: Hancock Village Apartments.

The Hancock Village Apartments offer a variety of different one, two and three bedroom homes that are second to none when it comes to quality and location. While technically located in Chestnut Hill, the area also encompasses parts of Brookline and West Roxbury as well. The stately, side-by-side brick apartments are sprawled across 80 acres of land and offer a true sense of community while living just minutes from the city.

The recently updated homes at Hancock Village feature energy efficient appliances, hardwood floors, and 5 different finish packages to choose from. If you’re into the classic look, go with the Arlington – granite counter tops and custom maple kitchen cabinets. Prefer white laminate counters with white raised panel cabinets? Go with the Clarendon or Berkeley! There’s something for everybody at Hancock Village.

You’ll be happy to know that all the homes come with heat and hot water included, a necessity for the frigid Boston winters. Some homes come equipped with a washer and dryer, while others can enjoy wonderful views of the woodlands and courtyards from private patios!

Hancock Village has maintained its elegant look and feel, but now has the modern features and conveniences that make life easy for you. This pet friendly community has everything you need right on site. Work out in the fully equipped fitness center or hang out in the community room which comes with a spacious relaxation area.

Other modern day conveniences include online rent payments, an onsite shopping center, and a Zipcar station! The shopping center has a convenient mix of tenants including a CVS, a UPS store, and multiple restaurants, but most importantly they have ice cream! You have to try one JP Licks Ice Cream‘s flavors of the month.

If you do ever need to leave the village, there are shuttles to the T giving you access all over Boston. Head to the Arnold Arboretum for a guided or self-guided tour through majestic flowers and trees. There are tons of different parks, conservation areas, and outdoor activities to partake in, but we also recommend paying a visit to the Larz Anderson Auto Museum, America’s oldest car collection!
