In 1997, Allston Brighton CDC and the tenants bought the buildings together, guaranteeing that they would stay affordable for the long-term. Today, the apartments are run by a joint ownership board made up of tenants and Allston Brighton CDC. The site is directly along the Green B subway line, close to many restaurants and local shops, and is a short walk to the Allston Village business district.
