Charles River Park's condominium homes, at 6 and 8 Whittier Place and 2 Hawthorne Place in Boston's West End, include 701 residences in high-rise buildings completed between 1964 and 1967.
Charles River Park is the large modernist community that architect Victor Gruen planned for the Charles River Park Corporation after it won the rights to redevelop this part of the West End in 1958. Much of the complex remains rental apartments, but the Whittier Place Condominium, with 463 homes at 6 and 8 Whittier Place, and 2 Hawthorne Place, with 238 homes completed in 1967, are the ownership side of the community. The buildings are high-rise slabs set within landscaped grounds, part of the original vision of towers in a park.
Residences range from studios to three-bedroom homes, roughly 500 to 1,900 square feet, and select homes have balconies. Upper floors take in views of the Charles River, Beacon Hill, and the downtown skyline.
The Whittier Place Condominium includes 364 deeded parking spaces, and residents have a concierge and a fitness center. Ground-floor commercial space adds convenience at the street level.
The location is hard to beat for anyone who works in the area. Massachusetts General Hospital is about a block away, and North Station, TD Garden, and the Charles River Esplanade are a short walk. Charles Street's shops and restaurants, Beacon Hill, and Government Center are close by, and several MBTA lines are within walking distance. Neighboring residences include Longfellow Towers and The West End Apartments.
The surrounding West End blends residential towers, green space along the river, and the medical and government campuses that border it, with everyday errands and transit close at hand.
For buyers who want a practical way into downtown living with views and parking, the condominiums at Charles River Park offer a convenient home in the West End.
