Reservoir Heights is a 109-unit condominium community set in a classic Art Deco brick building on upper Commonwealth Avenue in Brighton, directly across from the Chestnut Hill Reservoir and near Cleveland Circle. Over the past 24 months, five units have sold at a median price of $435,000, or roughly $744 per square foot, with a brisk average of 17 days on market. Monthly HOA fees generally range from about $283 to $438, and in at least one documented case the fee included heat and hot water.
Note that owner occupancy has historically been low—one listing cites roughly 20%—and several agents flagged a minimum 20% down payment requirement for financing. Buyers should verify current owner-occupancy and lender warrantability status directly.
The building offers a mix of studios and one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes. Studios frequently include a separate eat-in kitchen and a sleeping alcove—some marketed as convertible to a one-bedroom. One-bedrooms are the most common resale, featuring open living/dining combinations, cabinet or renovated eat-in kitchens, and generous closet space. Larger two- and three-bedroom units appear on upper floors, some with balconies and archway detailing that lend older-world character. Many homes have been renovated with updated electric, new windows, granite or tile kitchens, and refinished floors.
Location drives the appeal here. The building sits steps from Boston College and directly across from the Chestnut Hill Reservoir, where residents can walk or jog the loop. Cleveland Circle's shops and restaurants are within walking distance. For commuters, the MBTA Green Line's B, C, and D branches are all accessible nearby—with transit essentially in front of the building—making it convenient for both BC and BU. Upper-floor and rear-facing units are prized for panoramic sunset views toward Newton and abundant natural light. The mix of first-time buyers, students, and investors reflects the building's strong commuter positioning.
