Harbor point is one of the the most idyllic places to live in Boston. Gentle breezes from the harbor sweep gently across the fifty waterfront acres of this thriving successful community.
Harbor Point is a miraculous place but in the early 1980s it was a tattered and neglected public housing project called Columbia Point. So dilapidated that three-quarters of the 1,504 housing units were abandoned and crime so common that ambulances refused to enter without a police escort. A massive undertaking in both social and physical transformation, our teams labored for years to rebuild infrastructure, end crime, build community and nurture new pride.
The story of Harbor point is one of vision, perseverance, determination and dedication. Today Harbor Point boasts 1,288 units serving a community that spans economic tiers and is seen as a model of urban revitalization.
