Peabody Properties, an affiliate of The Peabody Companies, a group of award-winning property management and real estate firms headquartered in Braintree, Massachusetts, continues to expand its portfolio of managed communities with the addition of Kent Village in Scituate, Massachusetts.
The 64-unit multifamily residential property was developed in the early 1980s by the Planning Office for Urban Affairs (POUA), a nonprofit housing developer affiliated with the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston that serves as a catalyst for social justice through its work in housing development and neighborhood revitalization.
“For more than four decades, Kent Village has been an important affordable housing resource in the Scituate community thanks to development and administration by the Planning Office for Urban Affairs,” said Adam Kenney, executive vice president of operations at the Peabody Companies.
“We are pleased that our ongoing relationship with POUA has resulted in our taking management of Kent Village and offering the same high quality, affordable housing experience that its residents have come to value,” said Kenney, noting that two of Peabody’s properties in Hanover and Dorchester were developed by POUA as well.
Headquartered at 536 Granite Street, Braintree, Massachusetts, The Peabody Companies and its affiliates – Peabody Properties, Peabody Resident Services, Peabody Supportive Housing, Peabody Real Estate, and Peabody Miami – represent a legacy of excellence in the real estate sector. Founded in 1976 and led by Melissa Fish-Crane and Karen Fish-Will, this full-service, award-winning real estate firm is an Accredited Management Organization (AMO) that oversees more than 14,650 housing units across New England, with additional properties in New Jersey and Florida.
Peabody Properties, a cornerstone of the group, specializes in property management, demonstrating a remarkable blend of quality service and expertise. Peabody Resident Services, a unique arm of the company, underscores a deep commitment to enhancing resident experiences by focusing exclusively on developing supportive services and programs for affordable housing communities.
