The Lancaster offers a mix of layouts. One-bedroom homes include an expansive 751-square-foot corner floor plan described as sun-splashed, along with a 1 bed + den, 1.5 bath configuration. Two-bedroom, two-bath units make up much of the building, many of them corner homes with balconies or terraces and city views.
The building's signature homes are its penthouses, which feature vaulted or cathedral ceilings, panoramic skyline views, gas fireplaces, and larger outdoor decks. One penthouse offers dual master suites at opposite ends of the unit, each with an en-suite bath plus an additional half bath. The building also includes at least one income-restricted resale unit administered through the City of Boston's Department of Neighborhood Development.
The building's Commonwealth Avenue address places it directly on Boston's Green Line, referenced repeatedly in listings for its transit convenience. Units vary in exposure: some are south-facing with city views, while others face away from Commonwealth Ave and the T for added quiet and privacy. Between hilltop and skyline views, ground-floor amenities, and heated garage parking, The Lancaster is positioned as a full-service luxury option within Brighton.
