Construction Underway on Mixed-Income Housing
Construction is underway to create 114 mixed-income apartments on property along Essex Street in Swampscott. This transit-oriented project is located a quarter mile from the town's MBTA commuter rail station and steps away from the convenient MBTA Bus 455 line.
The development will include three studio units, 71 one-bedroom apartments, 28 two-bedroom apartments and 12 three-bedroom units.
Approximately 40% of the apartments will be affordable, 24% will be middle income or workforce housing, and 36% will be market rate units. The mix of incomes and unit types will add more options to the town's housing stock, appealing to a broad mix of people, including young professionals, commuters, downsizing households, and families.
Construction is expected to be completed in March of 2025. This web site is designed to keep neighbors informed about the progress of construction and to provide an email address to respond to construction-related questions.
