    What's special

    Tree-lined streetsCoin-operated laundry on site
    89 Ruthven Street is a fully leased, three-unit apartment building in Dorchester, offering a large unit mix headlined by one 4-bedroom/2-bath apartment and two 5-bedroom/2-bath apartments. All units are lead-paint certified, and the roof was replaced in 2023, minimizing near-term capital needs for a new owner. Coin-operated laundry on site adds an additional income stream, rounding out a well-maintained asset with an outsized unit mix for the submarket. Dorchester has emerged as one of Boston's most dynamic, fast-growing neighborhoods, offering a rare mix of accessibility, character, and long-term upside just minutes from downtown. With Red Line and bus access, tree-lined streets, and an ever-expanding mix of restaurants and shops, Dorchester continues to draw renewed investment and rising demand, cementing its place among Boston's most sought-after residential submarkets.
