This is by far the best complex in Boston that I have lived in. The building is extremely well-maintained, safe, with the absolute BEST city and harbor views anywhere in the city. Everything you can ask for (restaurants, museum, parks, walking trails, coffee shops, Northā€¦Ā See More >

      BUYER BEWARE!! Harbor Towers advertises itself as being tobacco free, but this is utterly false. They did pass an amendment to the condo rules 2 years ago that prohibits smoking but owners befors 2011 are still allowed to smoke in their units. ā€¦Ā See More >

            I love many things about living here. Although extraordinarily high condo fees, old pipes and fixtures and the feel of the 70's purpose for which these aprtments were constructed - low income housing - are evident. All in all, I like living here, despiteā€¦Ā See More >

                The air in the building is terrible. People are allowed to smoke in the units which pollutes the common areas and enters your unit through the walls, doors and ventilations system. Terrible air. Hazard to your health.ā€¦Ā See More >

                  The new era of HT is great. Good rennovations were completed and all systems renewed. The waterfront is constantly improving and being among the only places between the harbor and the Greenway make this a wonderful place to live. I am amazed at the quietā€¦Ā See More >

                    I have rented at Harbor Towers since 2004 and would not live anywhere else in Boston. Living on the Harbor in the most secure and attractive location in the middle of all action offering the best of Boston has been a fabulous experience.
