These are fantastic examples of what happens when you know how to use a camera. Kudos David, the composition/framing ...yes

It's definitely my favorite of the 4 North Station towers. Makes me think of this song when I see it. I'm hoping it's not the "last" tower we see in the area (need our 800 footer!) but it's the last one of the boom.

I will forever love these Leverett Connector shots. So very Ridge Racer.

These guys ain't messing around.

A studio on the 35th floor is $3,800!!

1 br are $3,700+ for units in the 20's. I bet anything above the 30th or 35th floors will be well north if $4K.

2 br are over $5,000.

Fit and finishes look great. This unit is on the 32nd floor with great views of Back Bay and the Charles.

It's actually a pretty good deal for brand new construction in a high-rise in Boston. There's a 2-month free deal. Some of the 1BD are sitting around 3600 so ((12 * 3600) - (2 * 3600)) / 12 = $3000/mo real cost. There's a lot worse in Boston sitting not that far off that right now price wise and they don't include concierge, W/D, gas appliances, excellent views etc.

Big problems:

- Year 2 is probably going to hurt. The free month deal is gone and I wouldn't surprised if you get a 10% rent increase.
- Parking over there, if I recall the garage is like 450/mo and since you can't get a street permit you're 100% locked into that cost if you have a car.

Great pics. The Alcott, my favorite newer building in Boston. On the other hand, the Avalon: updated Soviet.

The materials on The Avalon really aren't aging well just like some (most?) of the Soviet apartment blocks either!

-..... Parking over there, if I recall the garage is like 450/mo and since you can't get a street permit you're 100% locked into that cost if you have a car.

Anyone who lives at North Station and owns an individual car is a taker not a maker. They should charge MORE than $450/mo.
