2-Bedroom, 1 Oak Hill Rd, Fitchburg, MA 01420

The Anwelt Heritage Apartments transform a riverside mill into New England's first eco-friendly affordable 55+ senior housing community. In keeping with sound environmental principles, the 86 mixed-income residences are efficiently heated and cooled by geothermal exchange - using the earth's safe, renewable energy instead of expensive fossil fuels. The building features a landscaped courtyard with bridges, trellises, and a granite-block fountain. The gardens are planted with flowers and shrubs that create a habitat for butterflies, fireflies, and songbirds. There are also community gardens with planting beds for residents. The building features a controlled entry with electronic key card access and a buzz-in service for visitors. Inside, the warm and inviting club room features a flat-screen TV, computers, and a well-stocked library. The building is served by a central elevator, and has a laundry room on each floor.
