Kanso Milford is a newly constructed, four-story multifamily residential community offering 162 thoughtfully designed apartment homes in Milford, Massachusetts.
Developed by AvalonBay Communities under its Kanso brand, the project emphasizes modern simplicity, efficient living, and technology-forward features.
The architecture reflects a clean, modern residential aesthetic aligned with the Kanso ethos. Launched in 2022 to provide high-quality, well-designed homes without unnecessary extras, Kanso focuses on functionality and streamlined living. The building massing is articulated with bay windows, balconies, and wood-accented entries that lend a warm, residential scale. Interiors are appointed with durable, modern finishes such as quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and hard-surface flooring. Apartments feature a full suite of smart-home technologies, including Nest thermostats, keyless entry, pre-installed high-speed Wi-Fi, and app-based resident services with mobile access control.
The site is organized around a landscaped courtyard layout and integrates a children’s play structure, dog park, grilling areas, EV charging stations, and garage and surface parking. Strategically located near I-495 and the Upper Charles Rail Trail, Kanso Milford combines commuter convenience with access to nature and community amenities.
