About The Nia

The Nia introduces a quietly radical idea to Boston living. Where charm comes not from polish, but from thoughtful design and everyday clarity. This isn’t an out-of-touch showpiece; it’s a space with soul, grounded in comfort and crafted with intention. Inside, one- and two-bedroom apartments offer a lived-in ease, while amenities like a secure ButterflyMX entry system, an on-site gym, a dedicated work-from-home room, and private storage units meet the real needs of modern city life. Designed to Passive House standards, each residence is remarkably energy-efficient and exceptionally quiet, offering a more comfortable and sustainable living experience. From the indoor bike room with a repair station to a dog wash designed for daily use, every element reflects an honest approach to convenience and connection. Outdoors, residents enjoy a patio with a BBQ grill, a communal roof deck, and two private rooftop spaces, places to truly unwind, gather, and take in the city. Whether you're coming home from downtown Boston or in from a day traversing around Somerville, The Nia feels warm, inclusive, and deeply human. It’s a community that favors substance over spectacle, inviting you to experience the quiet joy of real life, well-designed.

The Nia is located in the Prospect Hill Somerville Neighborhood and 02143 Zip code of Somerville, MA.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider needs as part of the school selection process.
