Buying a condo in Assembly Square

If you are looking for a condo in Assembly Square, you first have to decide - do you need to be RIGHT in Assembly Square? In that case you are looking at the Alloy which is a luxury building at 375 Canal Street in Assembly Row. This building is attached to the Row Hotel, so as a resident of the Alloy you also can enjoy amenities of the hotel including room service, an indoor pool and a fitness center. Most units in the Alloy also come with a garage parking spot too. Expect to pay $900k to $1.1M range for a 2-bed/2-bath unit with around 1,000 square feet of living area. One other thing to keep in mind - with a building like the Alloy you are going to pay a pretty penny in condo fees - expect to pay around $1,000/mo - that will include your heat, water, and sewer, as well as all the other amenities that come with the building.

If you don’t need to be directly in Assembly Square, I would suggest you focus on the Ten Hills neighborhood directly across the street. Depending on your space needs, usually the lowest price point options in Ten Hills for condos will be the Shore Drive Townhouse condos, located on Governor Winthrop Rd, Shore Dr and Puritan Rd. This is a 24-unit association and I typically see one or two units come up each year. These townhouses are 2 bed 1.5 bath units and have about 1,200 sq ft of living area plus a parking spot and as of 2025 are going for $650k to $800k, depending on condition. 

If you are looking for more space, there are typically a handful of luxury condo conversions that pop-up in Ten Hills each year. They typically sell for between $1M to $1.5M and will have between 3 and 4 bedrooms and between 1,800 to 2,300 square feet of living area. If easy access to Rt-93 as well as Assembly Row and Wellington Station are important to you, Ten Hills can be an excellent place to buy a Somerville condo where convenience is paramount.
