Senior Living in a Convenient & Historical Lower Mills Location
A complete renovation of the Fabreeka Mills textile factory, Standish Village is located in the heart of the historic Lower Mills neighborhood, which borders Dorchester, MA and Milton, MA. Other restored mill buildings are clustered close by along the Neponset River, including our famous neighbor, the Baker Chocolate Factory. The neighborhood is bustling with life, surrounded by newly developed condos, eateries, and local businesses. Standish Village is also a short walk from the Milton MBTA stop and an array of dining, shopping and banking services.
