Granite Lena Park Apartments

Constructed circa 1900, the seven buildings that make up Granite Lena Park Apartments provide stable housing for extremely low and low-income households. Acquired by Lena Park Community Development Corporation (Lena Park) from HUD in 1988, the properties have not had a major rehabilitation since the late 1980s. The properties are spread over about one-half mile, with some of the sites located along Blue Hill Avenue facing Franklin Park, part of Boston’s “Emerald Necklace.” The apartments are 100% affordable and of varying sizes, from one to four bedrooms. The larger apartments are particularly important as they provide much-needed family housing in the neighborhood.
