Weston Park Apartments | 143 Washington Street | WEYMOUTH

The SSEDC’s Housing Committee supports the Weston Park Apartments development in Weymouth (42 homes). The project is 1/3 of a mile from the Braintree / Weymouth Landing Commuter Rail station. The project is part of a larger redevelopment effort of The Landing neighborhood which straddles the Braintree and Weymouth town line. It is on an underutilized lot along the Rt. 53 corridor. The convenience of the commuter rail and the proximity to restaurants, coffee shops and other amenities makes the project particularly attractive to younger professionals who find themselves priced out of the Boston housing market, or who are choosing to live on the South Shore, but want a more urban-feeling environment and easy transit access into Boston.
