Commonwealth in Boston offers a daily rhythm that feels both urban and manageable.

Tree lined streets connect classic brick buildings with shops, coffee spots, and small markets that make errands easy without leaving the neighborhood.
Families value access to respected schools like Boston Latin School and nearby Boston College High School, while workers appreciate convenient transit links through the MBTA Green Line and bus routes into Back Bay and downtown.

“Jill Fitzpatrick is the best realtor you could ever find. Being new in town, I was really worried about finding a trustworthy, knowledgeable realtor. Jill exceeded all expectations. She was just perfect-very knowledgeable, friendly and listened to all my needs. She showed me exactly what I asked for at a price I could afford. In the future, I would only use Jill as my realtor. I would recommend her to anyone-you just can't go wrong. Thank you, Jill!”
“Sarah Rodewald was excellent, especially with being a first time home buyer. She was friendly and responsive when I had questions or concerns. Sarah was a strong advocate for me during negotiations to secure a fair price and credits towards closing. I would highly recommend Sarah for anyone looking for a dedicated expert agent.”
“I can't thank John Dean enough for handing the sale of my home. John's knowledge of the industry and the area was exceptional. He kept me informed of all the issues and guided me with decisions that had to be made. He offered to make several trips to the house to meet and coordinate the inspections and other people that assisted me with the move. Not being available to make it to the property for various reasons being the distance and caring for a disabled husband, John saved me from having to be there. John was there to manage everything for me. If you need a professional agent, look no further than John Dean.”
“I interviewed several Realtors, and none of them asked the thoughtful questions that Katherine did to better understand my needs. She also demonstrated a deep knowledge of the Boston program I was using for financing, and her years of experience working in and around Boston was key. But more than anything else, we got along really well in our initial meeting and she had my full trust almost as soon as the process began.”
“He was honest enough to direct us away from one of the homes that we looked at because of the horrible basement there. He also showed us at least 5+ homes before we settled on the one we're living in now.”
“We were referred to Michelle by a friend. She knows Newton and the surrounding areas; she knows real estate; she knows everyone associated with real estate, including mortgage brokers, inspectors, and insurance agents. Michelle is very professional but also personable. She has a knack for explaining markets trends and is skilled at reading the psychological aspects of an offer/counter-offer. She was extremely responsive and helped us buy an incredible house in a great location - in the hottest market in history! In short, I recommend Michelle with great enthusiasm. She is the absolute best.”
“I was recommended by a friend to call Kerry Lapiana with Prestige Homes. I am so glad I did. Kerry went up and beyond from the beginning until the end. She was always available with any questions I had and she made the offer process so easy. It didn't end there. She even took time after I closed to ask me how it was going if I needed anything additional. She went up and beyond every step of the way. I would highly recommend Kerry Lapiana and Prestige Homes to friends, family and colleagues.”
“We were matched up with Greg Maund who was an incredible broker and help us get the apartment of our dreams. ”
“Scott was excellent and I highly recommend him. As a first time buyer, I had many questions and concerns, and he answered and alleviated all of them. We were on the same page from the start regarding strategy, and he deftly navigated through a couple unexpected and complicated situations after the initial offer had been accepted. I definitely plan on using Scott for any future real estate needs.”
