Blue Mountain Apartments

Affordable Housing in Boston, MA

An ambitious landmark project, Blue Mountain Apartments is a 217-unit multifamily complex composed of 19 walk-up buildings built between 1910 to 1930 in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston. The buildings were last renovated in the late 1980s through a combination of LIHTC equity and the Section 8 Rental Assistance program. The acquisition of the property ensured the preservation of Blue Mountain’s affordability in a Boston neighborhood currently undergoing a significant period of gentrification.

NHPF completed a substantial rehabilitation of the 19 buildings in 2023. The renovations extend the property’s useful life and expand resident amenities while preserving buildings with the Massachusetts Historic Preservation Office and National Park Service, both of whom have determined Blue Mountain to have historical significance to the Roxbury neighborhood.
