Live with Intention

Designed to Feel Like Home

The Nia Residences delivers what matters: comfort with clarity, beauty with purpose, and a sense of space that invites you to settle in. With just 15 homes, it’s an intimate building, full of thoughtful details that balance privacy and connection. Built to rigorous Passive House standards, each residence offers quiet interiors, lower utility costs, and exceptional air quality, creating a home that feels better from the inside out. You’ll feel the difference, but more importantly, you’ll live it.

Floor Plans

Rooted In Comfort

From wide-plank flooring to expansive windows, every inch is designed with care. Generous layouts, sleek kitchens, and calming tones create a backdrop for life’s real moments. Well-lived, well-loved, and always well-designed.

Model Unit 16

Refined Living

Built to a higher standard, feature finishes and details rarely found in rental living: refined, lasting, and quietly luxurious.

Model Unit 11

One Bed

Ideal for solo living or a cozy pair, our one-bedrooms balance open layouts with purposeful separation for easy, everyday living.

Model Unit 13

Two Bed

With space to stretch out or share, our two-bedrooms offer flexibility, privacy, and thoughtful design for modern lifestyles.

Small Scale, Big Experience

Thoughtfully Unexpected

The Nia Residences offers a considered amenity suite that feels less like a checklist and more like a lifestyle. Rooftop escapes, a coworking space, and a fitness center provide everything you need, without the overwhelm.

Rooftop Terrace

A calm, open-air escape with skyline views. Perfect for sunrise coffee or an evening wind-down.

Fitness Studio

A clean, well-equipped space, whether you're into reps, rhythm, or routine, it's designed to support whatever keeps you moving.

Work From Home

Private, focused nooks designed to make remote work feel more grounded and less boxed in.

Secure Bike Storage

Indoor bike parking with an on-site repair station, so your ride stays safe, tuned, and ready to go.

ButterflyMX Entry

Secure, app-based building access that makes it easy to let in guests, deliveries, or yourself, with just a tap.

Pocket Park with Dog Run

A small, landscaped escape with room to roam. Perfect for fresh air, quick breaks, and four-legged residents.

Private Storage

Extra space for the things you don’t need every day but still want close by, organized, and easy access to when you do.

Dog Wash

A clean, convenient setup made for everyday use because muddy paws happen more than once a season.

Your Somerville, Your Speed

Tucked away, yet totally connected.

The Nia Residences sit quietly along McGrath Highway’s carriage lane, just out of the way, but right in the mix. From the front door, it’s a short stroll to Union Square or a quick Green Line ride to downtown Boston.

At the edge of Union Square

Shops, dining, and the diverse community Union Square has to offer are within a half mile.

Easy access to Bow Market and the Green Line

Explore local favorites or hop on the train. Somerville’s best spots are within easy reach.

Surrounded by parks, coffee shops, local makers, and dining with soul

Your daily backdrop: green space, good coffee, and a neighborhood full of character.

Quick connection to I-93, Route 28, and Kendall Square

Whether commuting or heading out for the weekend, getting there is easy from Nia.
