The newest apartment complex in SouthField has just opened and almost half the units are already leased.
The 72-unit Commons on the Green at the former South Weymouth Naval Air Station offers the amenities you'd find in a new city complex with rents at half the price of Boston and Cambridge.
The Commons, along with its companion 226-unit building that opened in 2012, features such amenities as a saltwater swimming pool with a sundeck, a large fitness center, a Wi-Fi cafe and clubroom and a game room. The Commons has a large roof deck with a grilling area as well as a community room with a catering kitchen, outdoor patio, grills and a fire pit.
Studios at the Commons start at $1,370 a month, one-bedrooms at $1,645, two-bedrooms at $2,200 and there's even some three-level townhouses with private entrances and attached two-car garages for $2,950 a month.
And it's one-third of a mile from the South Weymouth MBTA commuter rail station, a 25-minute trip to South Station.
"We're getting a lot of city renters as well empty nesters from the South Shore who've sold their homes," said Commons leasing manager John O'Donnell. "It's so much cheaper to live out here, and many of our residents commute into Boston. It's an easy train ride."
The Commons, built by Braintree's John M. Corcoran & Co., is part of the smart-growth plan of clustered townhouse and single-family cottages as well as apartments. A 55-plus community with a nursing facility is under construction. The mix of uses will also include commercial and retail.
With the state set to pass a bill streamlining the building approval process and shifting water treatment responsibilities to SouthField's main developer Starwood Land Ventures, most expect a surge of residential development. About 500 people are living in SouthField now, with an expected total of 2,855 residences on the 1,400-acre site, 70 percent of which will remain open space.
We took a look at model Unit 117, a 726-square-foot one-bedroom renting for $1,695 a month. The first-floor unit has a private entrance with its own grassy patio out front — great for pet owners.
The interior features an open living/dining/kitchen area with dark-stained bamboo floors that has lots of tall windows and 11-foot ceilings.
The kitchen has granite counters and a bi-level island, wood cabinets and stainless-steel GE appliances. This, and all units, have a closet with a full-size washer and dryer.
The carpeted bedroom has tall windows and a glass door out to the front patio. There's a walk-in closet with built-in storage and a ceramic-floored bath with a white quartz-topped vanity and a one-piece deep soaking tub and shower.
Along the first floor of the Commons is retail space, which fronts on a planned village green to be surrounded by a cluster of shops.
"There are also plans for a recreation center with playing fields and an eco-park," said property manager Erica Stockton. "It's about creating a community."
