The Copley Condominium is primarily a mix of studios and one-bedroom homes, with a range of layouts reflecting the building's historic bones. Studios often feature clever design elements—Murphy beds, sleeping lofts, and separate foyers or alcoves—along with oversized bay windows. One-bedroom units range from standard layouts to oversized homes with room for a separate dining area, and some "loft-style" configurations offer a separate lofted bedroom with a walk-in closet.
Penthouse and top-floor units are especially notable, offering high ceilings, south-facing exposures, and views of Trinity Church and the Hancock Tower. Kitchens across the building have been updated over the years, with listings citing cherry or maple cabinets, granite, corian, or stainless steel appliances. Several units mention renovated baths, including work completed as recently as 2021.
