Lincoln Heights at 272 Lincoln Street is Marlborough's newest boutique condominium building, and it is nearly sold out. Of the 12 residences in this intimate, elevator-served community, 9 have already closed to owner-occupants — a testament to the quality, location, and value that set this address apart. Only three condos remain, and once they are gone, there is nothing else like this in downtown Marlborough.

If you have been searching for new condos in Marlborough, MA that offer single-level living, modern finishes, and genuine walkability to downtown shops, restaurants, and the Assabet River Rail Trail, Lincoln Heights deserves a closer look. Built in 2024–2025 and professionally managed, this is not a converted mill or a sprawling complex — it is a purpose-built, 12-unit building where every home is a private corner unit with no shared walls.

Why Lincoln Heights Stands Out Among Marlborough MA New Condos

The MetroWest condo market is no stranger to new construction, but Lincoln Heights is a different proposition. With only four units per floor and an elevator that serves all three levels plus the underground garage, the building delivers a level of privacy and accessibility that is rare at this price point. Every residence is a true corner unit — no interior units, no shared bedroom walls — which means natural light from multiple exposures and a quieter living experience than you will find in most condo developments.

The building was designed to offer seamless and convenient living, as reflected in its buyer profile. All nine closed units were purchased by owner-occupants, establishing a stable and invested community from the outset. Professional off-site management handles landscaping, snow removal, exterior maintenance, insurance, and building security so residents can enjoy a truly low-maintenance lifestyle.

Open-concept living spaces with hardwood floors, oversized windows, and chef's kitchens with granite counters and ENERGY STAR appliances.

Features and Finishes: What Every Lincoln Heights Condo Includes

Every condominium at Lincoln Heights was built new from the ground up with a focus on quality materials, energy efficiency, and contemporary design. These are not cookie-cutter units with builder-grade finishes — the attention to detail is evident the moment you walk through the door.

Interior Details Buyers Love

Inside the Three Remaining Homes

Each of the three available condominiums has its own character, floor position, and price point. Below is a closer look at what makes each one worth a showing.

Unit 301 — Top Floor

$598,000

No one above you. No shared walls. Unit 301 is a top-floor corner condo where the only sound you hear is yours. At 1,130 square feet, this is a home that delivers something rare in condo living — genuine quiet and privacy — without sacrificing an inch of modern design.

Soaring ceilings and oversized windows flood every room with light. The open-concept layout connects a sleek kitchen with stone countertops, a center island, and ENERGY STAR appliances to a generous dining and living area that feels airy and uncluttered. Pendant lighting and hardwood floors throughout.

The primary suite is your retreat — a walk-in closet, full en-suite bath, ceiling fan, and a private covered balcony accessed through a glass slider. Morning coffee on the balcony, overlooking the treetops, is the kind of moment that makes you glad you bought here. The second bedroom has its own full bath, giving guests or a home office complete separation from your personal space.

In-unit laundry, central air via heat pumps, intercom security, and a deeded heated underground garage space are all standard. Elevator access takes you from your car to your front door without a single stair.

Top-floor privacy with a private covered balcony off the primary suite. No units above, no shared walls — the quietest position in the building.

Unit 302 — Top Floor

$618,000

 

 

 

The largest top-floor home in the building. Unit 302 gives you 1,250 square feet of corner living on the top floor — no one above, no shared walls — with the added convenience of a half bath that the other remaining units do not have. If you want the best position and the most space, this is it.

Open-concept living begins the moment you walk in. Soaring ceilings, oversized picture windows on multiple exposures, and wide-plank hardwood floors create a bright, expansive feel. The kitchen is designed for people who actually cook — granite countertops, upgraded cabinetry, stainless ENERGY STAR appliances, and a peninsula that opens to the dining and family room so you are never isolated from the conversation.

A sleek glass slider leads to a private covered deck off the living area. It is the largest outdoor space among the remaining units, and it faces outward from the building — ideal for unwinding after work or hosting a few friends on a summer evening.

The primary suite features a full en-suite bath, generous closet, and recessed lighting. The second bedroom has its own full bath, providing real separation for guests or a dedicated workspace. In-unit laundry, central air, and a deeded heated underground garage space are all included.

The premium condo at Lincoln Heights — top floor, beautiful layout, half bath, balcony and the most generous living space of any remaining unit. At $494 per square foot, this is the building's best combination of size and position.

Location: Downtown Marlborough and the Assabet River Rail Trail

Lincoln Heights sits at the corner of Lincoln Street and Cashman Drive, placing residents squarely in the heart of downtown Marlborough — a community that has invested heavily in revitalizing its walkable center. Shops, restaurants, cafes, and services are within a short walk, including local favorites like Linguine's Italian Eatery, Firefly's BBQ, Silk Road Bistro, and the charming Main Street Cafe.

Steps from the Assabet River Rail Trail

One of the most compelling features of this location is its proximity to the Assabet River Rail Trail, a paved multi-use path that runs from the southern terminus on Lincoln Street through Hudson, Stow, Maynard, and Acton, stretching over 10 miles. The trail is a favorite for walkers, runners, and cyclists, and connects to the expanding Mass Central Rail Trail network. From Lincoln Heights, you can step outside your door and be on the trail in minutes — no car needed.

The trail offers forested sections, views of Fort Meadow Reservoir, wetland crossings at Flagg Brook, and a direct link to Hudson's downtown shops and bike-friendly businesses. For commuters, the northern portion of the trail connects to the South Acton MBTA commuter rail station, offering a car-free option for getting into Boston.

Lincoln Heights Building and Area

Commuter Access and Connectivity

Beyond the trail, Lincoln Heights benefits from quick access to Route 20 and I-495, two of MetroWest's primary arteries. The location puts Boston approximately 35 miles to the east, Worcester about 20 miles to the west, and the booming Route 9/I-495 corridor — home to major employers in tech, biotech, and healthcare — within a short drive. Marlborough's MWRTA bus service provides additional public transit connectivity for those who prefer not to drive.

Neighborhood Amenities

Residents of Lincoln Heights are within easy reach of Solomon Pond Mall, Apex Entertainment, Trombetta's Farm, multiple golf courses, conservation areas, medical facilities, and a full complement of public and private schools. The Marlborough Public Library is a short walk away, and the city's ongoing investment in parks, streetscape improvements, and community programming reflects a municipality that is growing thoughtfully.

Sales Progress: Why 9 of 12 Units Sold to Owners

The absorption rate at Lincoln Heights tells a clear story. In a market where buyers have more options than ever, 75% of this building sold to owner-occupants — not investors, not speculators, but people who chose Lincoln Heights as their home. That is a meaningful distinction, and it speaks to several factors that discerning buyers prioritize:

• New construction quality — no deferred maintenance, no renovation surprises
• Single-level living — every unit is one floor, fully accessible via elevator
• Corner-unit privacy — no shared bedroom walls, windows on multiple sides
• Underground heated parking — a genuine luxury in New England
• Walkable downtown location — daily errands and recreation without a car
• Stable, owner-occupied community — neighbors who are invested in the building

With only 3 units remaining, the window to purchase at Lincoln Heights is closing. New construction condo inventory in downtown Marlborough is extremely limited — there is no comparable project in the pipeline at this scale and price point.

HOA and Monthly Costs

Monthly homeowner association fees at Lincoln Heights range from approximately $475 to $520 per month, depending on the unit. That fee covers a comprehensive list of services that, in a single-family home, would fall entirely on the homeowner:

• Elevator maintenance and inspection
• Exterior building maintenance
• Professional landscaping and sprinkler system
• Snow removal
• Master insurance policy
• Refuse removal
• Building security systems
• Reserve fund contributions

For buyers comparing condo living to single-family homeownership, these fees are worth contextualizing. A comparable single-family home in Marlborough at this price point would carry its own landscaping, snow removal, exterior repair, and insurance costs — often totaling more than the HOA fee when annualized. The difference is that at Lincoln Heights, those items are handled professionally, on schedule, and without requiring your time or attention.

Who Is Lincoln Heights Right For?

Lincoln Heights is designed for buyers who value quality, convenience, and a low-maintenance lifestyle. The most common buyer profiles we see include:

• Downsizers moving from a larger single-family home who want new construction without the yard work
• Professionals commuting along the I-495 or Route 20 corridor who want a walkable home base
• Active adults drawn to the Assabet River Rail Trail and Marlborough's outdoor amenities
• First-time buyers entering the market with a brand-new, move-in-ready home

Pets are welcome at Lincoln Heights, and the building's accessibility features — including full elevator service from the garage to every floor — make it suitable for residents at every stage of life.
