One Bedroom Condos for Sale in Back Bay, Boston

Find One Bedroom Condos for Sale in Back Bay, Boston

Almost all of this inventory sits inside converted brownstones, so the unit you are looking at was once part of a whole row house. That history shows up in the details: bay windows on the front, decorative mantels, plaster mouldings and, depending on the floor, either very high ceilings or a garden level entrance below the stoop. A smaller group of one bedrooms sits in the full service buildings along Commonwealth Avenue and near the Prudential, which trade period detail for elevators and staff. City Central Realty can explain what each association covers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a garden level unit?

An apartment on the lower floor of a brownstone, partly below street level, entered beneath the front stoop. These often have direct access to a rear patio or garden.

What do Back Bay condo fees typically cover?

It varies by building. Smaller brownstone associations often cover water, master insurance and common area maintenance, while full service buildings add staffing, elevator service and sometimes heat.

What should be reviewed before making an offer?

The master deed and bylaws, the association budget and reserve balance, minutes from recent meetings, any special assessments planned, and the rules on renting the unit out.
