Why Nelson Emmons chose Harbor View - Orient Heights
We are close to all that Boston has to offer, either by car or public transportation.
What makes this villa unique
The sheer size and location on Boston Harbor was one of the most attractive features that lured us to purchase the Villa. It's ease to public transportation connecting all the city has to offer without the need of a car, was a real game changer. The view from the sun porch and in the summer months having a glass of wine on the upper balcony is delightful while watching the planes come and go. It is similar to an orchestrated symphony.
