The Ledges, a new mixed-income community in Ashland of 64 apartment homes designed for those age 62 and over, is now accepting lottery applications. The Ledges project, which began in 2010 in response to a Town of Ashland-issued Request for Proposals, is a joint-venture of EA Fish Development LLC and The Planning Office for Urban Affairs, two local developers with a history of collaboration on the creation of community-responsive, high-quality affordable senior rental housing.
The Ledges offers a comprehensive array of resident services that enable seniors to maintain an independent lifestyle as they age in place, and is exclusively marketed and managed by Peabody Properties, an award-winning full-service real estate and property management firm.
Community highlights at The Ledges include open and airy living spaces with abundant natural light, fitness center, resident community space with full kitchen, furnished outdoor patio, laundry care center, on-site parking, a rich array of resident service programs and activities, and professional, on-site management with 24-hour emergency maintenance. The Ledges is a smoke-free and pet-friendly community, nestled in a scenic, tree-lined, landscaped setting minutes from the Mass Pike.
“We are excited to see The Ledges community advance to this next phase, and know that it will offer seniors an incredibly supportive community within a beautiful setting,” said Karen Fish-Will, principal and CEO of Peabody Properties. “We look forward to seeing this community grow and flourish in the months and years ahead,” she added.
The Ledges is another in a series of senior housing communities created in collaboration by EA Fish Development and The Planning Office of Urban Affairs and managed by Peabody Properties. Most similar to the Ledges is Barstow Village, a 66-unit senior community set within a peaceful residential neighborhood in Hanover, MA.
