The first place to live in Somerville's new $1.5 billion Assembly Row mini-city is open, with views of a new park and amphitheater along the Mystic River.
Tenants have started moving into the Avalon at Assembly Row, a 195-unit luxury development — part of an urban village development with walkable streets and ground-floor shops.
A 12-screen AMC theater complex opened last week, and soon to follow will be Legoland Discovery Center and JP Licks. In the fall, a $50 million Assembly Orange Line T station will connect the development to downtown Boston.
There will eventually be almost 2,100 residential units on the 57-acre site, along with 1.75 million square feet of office space, as well as 400,000 square feet of retail space.
The five-story Avalon features dozens of units with river views and others that overlook a large interior courtyard with a heated outdoor swimming pool and barbecue grills. The ground-floor fitness facility overlooks the river, as does a large second-floor roof deck off an interior club room with a gas fireplace.
"Tenants are as interested in the common spaces and amenities as in the apartments themselves," said Christina Calpouzos, the complex's customer service supervisor.
The apartments range from studios to three-bedrooms. A two-bedroom with 1,393 square feet of space and river views is renting for $3,200. Model unit 248, a 691-square-foot one-bedroom with espresso cabinets, light granite counters, a tiled bathroom and private patio across from the pool, is renting for about $2,350.
There are 491-square foot studios priced starting at $2,185 and 1,875-square-foot three bedrooms starting at $4,375. Rents don't include utilities, and on-site garage parking is $100 a month.
"We are seeing a lot of young professionals working in town deciding to rent here as well as a surprising number of downsizers from Somerville," said Scott Dale, senior vice president of development for AvalonBay Communities.
Avalon at Assembly is competing with other new apartment complexes over the bridge in Wellington Circle and the nearby Rivers Edge development.
But Dale says the Assembly Row market is unique.
"This is a self-contained urban environment," said Dale, adding that 58 units have already been leased and he expects the complex to be filled within six months.
