Newer buildings going rental...

Either good or bad..... it's happening....The Carruth and The Schoolhouse at Lower Mills will be rental buildings for the coming years.

My take on it is that Dorchester, especially Lower Dorchester or Lower Dot as some call it (http://www.lowerdot.com/) , will get approximately 150 high-end renters that will fall in love with Dorchester and set up for life here. All the interested downtown renters, graduate students, and relocating professionals coming from all over Boston and beyond that visit Ashmont Hill, Lower Mills or Savin Hill continue to provide great comments on the many great Dorchester neighborhoods.

Besides The Carruth and The Schoolhouse at Lower Mills as rental buildings, the Lofts at Lower Mills started off as a rental building and will be so for somthing like the next 6 years and from the looks of it will be open early October 2008. The units are amazing units (www.loftsatlowermills.com) and Cindy Erwin of Winn Residential gives the best tours. They are almost completely rented out. Here are some pictures of the construction that I took a few weeks back:

I can't wait to promote homeownership to the 150 or so new residents to Lower Dorchester who will soon be happily living here. Call me at 617 784 8635 or email me at james@bostonbayside.com with any questions about renting, buying or selling.
