Living spaces are thoughtfully designed and stylishly appointed with premium materials and finishes. The complex includes solar panels, a community room, an electric vehicle charging station, lush landscaping, and a patio.
Peabody Properties, an affiliate of the Peabody Companies, a group of award-winning property management and real estate firms now celebrating its 48th anniversary, is excited to announce the addition of four apartment complexes developed by Capstone Communities, LLC to its portfolio of managed communities.

All four are now under management by Peabody Properties.

In addition to modern interior features, Station Lofts has an on-site fitness center, ample parking, and storage. Architectural features include exposed brick and beams, high ceilings, and abundant natural light.The McElwain School Apartments in Bridgewater, developed in partnership with MPZ Development, is a community of 57 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, 51 of which are affordable housing units.
