48 Robinwood Ave # 7

No Roommate Required

Robinwood Ave doesn’t announce itself. It’s a tree-lined residential street tucked just above Centre — quiet, unhurried, the kind of block that surprises people who didn’t know it was there. The building fits the street: a well-preserved 1955 brick mid-rise whose common areas still carry the original architectural character, maintained with care over the decades.

How It Lives

Unit 7 is on the upper level, rear of the building, south-facing. That combination — elevation, rear orientation, southern exposure — means light from morning through late afternoon and treetop views through every window. It doesn’t feel like a city apartment. It feels like a place that’s actually yours.

The floor plan is clean and uncomplicated. No wasted corners, no awkward geometry, no compromises you’ll be explaining to guests for years. The living room at 12’9” by 13’3” has real scale. The corner bedroom at 11’6” by 13’3” gets two exposures and fits a proper bed with room to spare. Hardwood floors throughout. Freshly painted. The kind of blank canvas that makes moving in feel like a decision rather than a negotiation.

The Building

Robinwood Knoll Condominium has been looked after. The roof has been replaced, masonry repointed, and the building’s original character preserved rather than renovated away. The HOA structure means heat, hot water are included and exterior upkeep is handled — ownership here is genuinely low-maintenance. No special assessments. Private storage and bike storage in the basement. 1 exclusive-use off-street parking spot directly beside the main entrance.

The Location

Robinwood Ave gives you JP without the noise of it. Centre Street’s full lineup — The Joint, Vee Vee, Tres Gatos, Casa Verde, Sweet Rice, JP Seafood — is close by. The Orange Line, the #39 bus, and 2 major bike paths are all nearby. The leafy, winding paths encircling Jamaica Pond are a stone’s throw away.

And then there’s Longwood. For anyone working at one of the hospitals, research institutions, or medical schools along Longwood Ave — one of the largest concentrations of medical employment in New England — this address is the kind of find that makes a long residency feel considerably more manageable.
