Market figures reflect closed sales over the last 24 months. Data sourced from MLS PIN.
Reservoir Gardens is a 50-unit condominium association set in a classic pre-war brick building in Boston's Allston/Brighton area, positioned along Commonwealth Avenue between Boston College and Cleveland Circle. Widely regarded as one of Brighton's best pre-war buildings, the complex is arranged around a landscaped courtyard that opens directly to the Chestnut Hill Reservoir. Over the last 24 months, four units sold at a median price of $610,000, or roughly $624 per square foot, with a brisk average of 15 days on market.
The building offers a mix of one- and two-bedroom homes, with at least one larger unit marketed as a 2-or-3 bedroom on the ground level. One-bedroom units tend to be spacious, featuring eat-in kitchens and fireplaced living rooms overlooking the courtyard. Two-bedroom layouts range from ground-floor units with direct reservoir access to sought-after top-floor and corner penthouse homes with southern exposure and water views. Kitchens vary from period eat-in spaces to fully renovated versions with stainless steel appliances, quartz or granite counters, and gas stoves. Many units retain floor-to-ceiling windows, French doors, and hand-stenciled foyers, while several have been extensively updated—one renovated in 2019 to add in-unit laundry.
Set privately back from the bustle of Commonwealth Avenue, the complex delivers a quiet, park-like feel while remaining close to city amenities. It abuts the 133-acre Chestnut Hill Reservation, home to a 1.56-mile walk and jog path around the reservoir. Residents are within walking distance of Cleveland Circle, Boston College, local shops, and restaurants. Commuters benefit from access to three Green Line branches (B, C, and D) plus bus service to Harvard Square, roughly five miles west of Downtown Boston. High owner occupancy—reported above 70–80% in several listings—reinforces the community's residential character.
