Stop commuting, start living! Here’s a condo near Boston you can’t miss
One minute, two minutes, three minutes… 30 minutes. Only 13% of Boston commuters are able to reach their destination by car or mass transit within that time. The rest? Well, they are growing increasingly tired of endless gridlock and tedious highway slogs, according to a MassINC poll.
Luckily, there is an option for those of you who want to stop commuting and find a condo near Boston: Metro9 Condos in Somerville. The panoramic views from the Metro9 roof deck give an idea just how close it takes you to downtown Boston and Cambridge. Are you ready to bid farewell to the forever–commutes on the MassPike and I-93 and embrace a new way of living?
Find a condo near Boston — and free up hours of time
With a Metro9 condo near Boston, you can get to where you want in minutes. The question is only which mode of transportation will take you there?
Biking: It’s gold-level standard
Pull out your bike from Metro9’s on–site bike storage (with a repair shop!) and zoom along the bikeable streets that have earned Somerville the Gold Level Bicycle Friendly Community award, a designation held by only 29 communities nationwide. And it is only going to get better as the next phase of the Grand Junction Path in Cambridge is poised to stretch this mini-bicycling highway all the way from Boston University Bridge to Somerville and Allston. Eventually, it will connect to the Somerville Community Path, which is also set to become significantly longer as part of the Green Line Extension project.
