About KBL

KBL is part of The Residences of University Park Collection. Each one of the four apartment communities has its own approach to life. An outlook thoughtfully expressed in every detail. What unites them all is lush, open space. Which one fits… you?

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Kennedy Biscuit Lofts (KBL) were once home to the Frank A. Kennedy Steam Bakery, which produced Lorna Doone and Fig Newton cookies. Today, many of the architectural details original to its 1875 construction, like exposed brick walls and wooden beams, add to the charm of each open floorplan apartment. Come tour today.
We are committed to transparent pricing. All-in price includes base rent and required monthly fees based on default selections. Optional and usage-based fees are not included. Security deposit amounts may vary based on screening results. Prices, fees, and availability are subject to change and can vary based on the unit, lease term, and move-in date. Promotions may be conditional. Residents must maintain renters insurance with at least $100,000 in personal liability coverage. Failure to provide proof of coverage will result in automatic enrollment in the property's master insurance policy at the applicable monthly rate. Residents are responsible for activating and maintaining all required utilities, some of which may be billed directly by the provider and others through the property. This summary does not include all potential charges. The lease and application govern all fees and terms. Contact the leasing office for the most current information.

Decent and relatively... (Verified Renter)

Decent and relatively cheap place to live compared to other buildings in the Cambridge neighborhood. The buildings are very old and often run into frequent maintenance issues. If it doesn't happen in your unit, it's a great place to be at. But if you have to deal with maintenance issues, it can be a living nightmare.
