Rare opportunity to acquire a generational asset in the heart of Washington Sq., Brookline. Just a stone’s throw away from Beacon St. – 10-24 University Rd. is positioned alongside one of the most transit-oriented throughfares in/around Greater Boston, providing immediate MBTA access to major universities, like BU, Northeastern and Wentworth, the Longwood Medical Area and the many tech and engineering hubs in Kenmore Sq./Downtown Boston. Addressed as 10-12, 16-18 and 22-24 University Rd., the offering consists of three (3) 7-unit buildings and eleven (11) surface level parking spaces on contiguous parcels spanning 23,479 sq./ft. in cumulative lot size. Gross building area within the shells of all three buildings amounts to 57,928 sq./ft. but twenty-one (21) residential units comprise 35,512 sq./ft. of living space, with eighteen (18) 4-5 bedroom dwellings across the first, second and third levels and three (3) 1-2 bedroom dwellings on the garden levels. While substantial value-add potential can be achieved by preserving the current building designs, additional opportunities may also exist by tapping into unutilized space on the fourth floors/garden levels, rearranging floorplans and/or increasing the total unit count.
Aspinwall Hill, located between Washington Square and Cleveland Circle, is a residential and hillside Brookline neighborhood with prewar brick apartments and leafy side streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Beacon Street at Cleveland Circle, where corner cafés, small grocers, and longtime eateries meet the Green Line’s steady rhythm. Coolidge Corner Theatre and Brookline Booksmith act as cultural anchors a short walk downhill. The skyline shifts from triple-deckers to stately Tudor and Colonial Revival homes along quiet lanes. Griggs Park adds an open green pause near the village streetscape. Commuter energy and porch-lit calm share the same blocks.

Local insights from Redfin agents
Brookline will continue to be a Seller's market for the foreseeable future, driven by restrictive zoning laws that have limited increases in housing production and a stable population with relatively low turnover. This has resulted in a massive...
supply/demand imbalance that is unlikely to change.
