This transit-oriented project for Urban Edge is within short walking distance of the MBTA Orange Line, several bus routes, and various neighborhood amenities. The project is 100% affordable and Passive House Design Certified, creating an accessible and healthy place to live.

The development is named in honor of Betty Greene, a beloved community advocate who dedicated her life fighting for justice and dignity in housing. We are honored to contribute to her legacy by furthering the expansion of equitable, sustainable, and healthy housing in Boston.
