Transit-Oriented Development
The vision for Oak Grove Village began with the location of the site — next to an MBTA subway station, across from a tranquil park and within walking distance of the 3,000-acre Middlesex Fells Reservation. Pembroke saw an opportunity to transform the existing, underutilized, industrial site into a thriving, transit-oriented community.
Excellent Location
Only 15 minutes north of Boston, steps from the MBTA’s Orange Line, and a short drive to many of the area’s major highways, Oak Grove Village’s convenient location provides easy access to the greater Boston area, the mountains of Vermont and New Hampshire, and the New England coast.
Thoughtfully Designed Apartments
Inspired by historic New England towns, Oak Grove Village’s architecture, generous use of green space, courtyards and pedestrian-friendly streets combine to create a sense of community. To avoid a typical “cookie cutter” apartment complex that stood out from its competitors, Pembroke incorporated such design elements as below-grade parking; scaled the buildings and the length of the blocks with sensitivity to the history and rich residential character of the surrounding towns; and paid close attention to the smallest detail, from high quality light fixtures to the use of varying textures and colors for the building exteriors.
Unrivaled Amenities
From apartment to development to surrounding communities, Oak Grove Village offers a superb array of amenities. Apartments have 9-10' ceiling heights, in-residence washers and dryers, walk-in closets, spacious kitchens and options such as fireplaces, balconies, bay windows and patios. Oak Grove Village offers on-site retail conveniences, lush landscaping and a state-of-the-art clubhouse with swimming pool, 24-hour fitness center and media room. Pine Banks Park is adjacent to the property, Middlesex Fells Reservation is just minutes away, and dining and shopping can be found in Malden and Melrose town centers. Additionally, Oak Grove Village offers many “Green Living” features and initiatives, such as bike racks, Energy Star appliances, green cleaning products, an extensive recycling program and green snow removal chemicals.
