Overview

36 College Avenue, known as the Bryant Chambers building, is a well-maintained 44-unit mid-rise apartment property with classic brick architecture. The five-story building was constructed in the 1920s and features window exposure on all four sides for apartments with abundant natural light. Resident amenities include elevator service, on-site laundry facilities, tenant storage, hardwood flooring, gas cooking, and dishwashers. The unit mix consists of 3 studios, 34 one-bedrooms, 6 two-bedrooms, and 1 commercial unit.

The building is situated on a prominent corner of College Avenue and Park Avenue in Somerville’s Davis Square area. It is described as transit-oriented, with the MBTA Red Line station steps away, and Tufts University within walking distance.

This property can fit investors or owner-operators seeking a rental building with a mix of studio through two-bedroom residences plus an included commercial unit. With an elevator and on-site laundry, it supports day-to-day resident convenience, while the multi-sided window exposure and hardwood flooring features help maintain an attractive in-unit presentation across the apartment homes.
