A new 21-unit condo development in Boston’s Fenway neighborhood, Park 461, has just received its Certificate of Occupancy – we provided some exposure to these condos in early January (see New Fenway Condos Viable Option to Renting). There are currently 8 units remaining for sale in the development, priced from $249,000 to $349,000. For more information on available units, see full listing details (1.9 MB PDF).
New Fenway Condos Viable Option to Renting

Audubon Circle is an extension of the Back Bay Residential District and is home to several architecturally significant buildings. This heritage is complemented by Park 461, a new five-story steel and concrete elevator building located steps from Fenway Park, and close to MBTA Green Line public transportation. Park 461 is located near the intersection of Park Drive and Beacon Street in Boston’s Fenway neighborhood.
There are currently five units at Park 461 advertised in the Boston MLS, ranging in price from $299,000 to $339,000. These 463 square foot units (brand new construction) are great for access to the various schools in the area (Longwood / Harvard Medical Center, Boston University, and Simmons), and provide a viable option to renting.

Despite the Fenway being home to some architecturally superb buildings, occasionally, one slips through the cracks, as demonstrated by the below picture of a Fenway Beacon Street top floor addition that seems out of place, to say the least.
Meads of Commonwealth Open House
September 23, 2007 By
After moving to a new listing brokerage, the Meads of Commonwealth, 13 luxurious and unique units in Back Bay have a renewed push, and some slightly lower prices (i.e. the penthouse unit was dropped from $6.2 million to $5.5 million), the development is our Featured Open House of the week.
9 units remain at the Meads, which was completed in 2007. Residences are priced between $1,875,000 and $5,500,000, and include at least one garage parking space under the development, private and direct elevator access, and many other amenities.
Based on our many Meads of Commonwealth Blog Posts, you can tell we think the units are exquisite, and the amenities are almost unmatched. The Meads combine class and style in units that have excellent flow. Aside from the penthouse unit that has over 2,000 square feet of outdoor space, the other units would be better served by having some of their own, but soaring ceilings and windows to match provide superb light otherwise.
The Open House, located at 413 – 415 Commonwealth Avenue will take place Sunday, September 23, 2007 from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM. Please tell them that Boston Condo Guy sent you, and after you return, drop a comment on this blog post to let everyone know your thoughts on the Meads. If you fall in love and would like to write an Offer, please contact us.
Meads of Commonwealth

We had the pleasure of stopping in to visit the Meads of Commonwealth condos this evening. We’ve seen a lot of Boston condos, but the Meads really are second to none. The thirteen unique Meads of Commonwealth residences are currently spread across three buildings at 413, 415, and 419 Commonwealth Avenue, range in size from 1,827 to 5,711 square feet, and in price from $1.875 million to $6.2 million.
Some of the striking features of the Back Bay Meads Condos are:
- Stunning ceiling heights in the majority of the units – some units have 12 foot ceiling heights, with the lowest being in the eight to nine foot range
- The sheer expanse of the units – you could literally get lost in some of these units, they just flow from room to room, and amenity to amenity
- Excellent craftsmanship across the board – gleaming hardwoods, tasteful crown molding, and solid one and three quarters inch doors
- High-end finishes – gourmet kitchens with Sub-Zero and Bosch appliances, laundry rooms with Bosch washer and dryers along with custom utility sink, custom closets in the master suites, classy frosted glass on some of the master suite bathroom doors
There has been quite a lot of traffic that has flown through the sales center (Unit 2, the model unit that serves as the sales center headquarters has actually sold, and the new owners will be moving in within the next several weeks). Thus far, three of the thirteen units have sold, and two are currently being negotiated (including the 5,700 square foot $6.2 million penthouse.
The penthouse is overwhelming, a sheer delight to walk through, along with the jaw-dropping 2,000+ square feet of terrace space. The developers continue to entertain and accommodate customizations, and will continue to do so, even with occupancy right around the corner.
The Meads of Commonwealth are a real delight. For current availability and buying information, please contact us.

Given that Boston has more millionaires than New York, a developer saw that fact and has built The Meads of Commonwealth Condos, residences that cater to the most demanding buyer.
All 13 of the Meads of Commonwealth Condos are unique in shape and size, but elite craftsmanship and fine finishings were not spared. The Penthouse is truly one of a kind, and the Meads will serve to not only provide an exquisite home to buyers who can afford to purchase a residence, but also to better Boston’s Back Bay as a whole.
The Meads are currently available for purchase and start at $1.8 million for a 7 room, 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath Brownstone.
