With the warm weather approaching, we would like to remind residents that we are required to provide heat from September 15 to June 15th. Therefore, the air conditioning will not be available to residents in buildings and rehab units until this date. Window a/c units are not permitted on the property due to safety concerns.
We strongly encourage residents to obtain renter's insurance during their tenancy at Harbor Point. This insurance protects and covers your personal belongings in the event of a fire, flood, etc.
We have several grills located on the property which are available for residents to use. Please contact Public Safety at 617-282-3555 to reserve a grill; you will need to provide them with the date/times you wish to use it as well as the grill number.
With the nice weather approaching many people are spending time outdoors. We have many different types of athletic equipment for residents to borrow such as tennis racquets/balls, ping pong balls/racquets, frisbees, volleyballs, etc. You simply need to bring a photo ID to the Public Safety Office at 40 Westwind Road.
The boardwalk along the ocean is open from dawn to dusk. This area is patrolled by Public Safety and the MA State Police.
