—— The project
A boutique building near Stony Brook.
61 Montebello is a ground-up collection of eight condominium homes in Jamaica Plain, a short walk from the Stony Brook Orange Line, the Southwest Corridor and Centre Street. Built new for 2026 with high ceilings, hardwood floors, induction kitchens, central air and energy-efficient heat pumps, from two-bedroom flats to a three-level corner townhouse.
—— From the ground up
We helped shape the homes buyers wanted.
Most agents meet a building when it’s ready to list. We were part of the planning, bringing what we see from Jamaica Plain buyers every week into decisions the developer made long before the first showing.
01
What buyers want
From day one we brought the developer real feedback from Jamaica Plain buyers: what they’re paying for, what they skip, and what makes them choose one new building over another.
02
Layout & floor plans
We weighed in on unit mix and layouts, from two-bed flats to a three-level corner townhouse with a vaulted top-floor primary suite and a flexible bonus room.
03
Garage, parking & outdoor space
Parking and outdoor space sell homes in JP. We helped plan the garage and driveway parking, farmer’s porch, fenced yard and patio.
04
Fixtures & finishes
We advised on the finishes buyers notice first: wide hardwood floors, induction kitchens, en-suite baths, central air and efficient heat pumps.
—— Marketing during construction
Selling homes that weren’t built yet.
Buyers need to picture a home before they’ll commit to it. While walls were still going up, we gave them architectural renderings, virtually staged interiors, finish boards for the kitchens, baths and details, full floor plans and a dedicated property website.

—— New development services

—— Questions developers ask
New construction sales in Jamaica Plain
Can new construction condos sell before they’re finished?
Yes. At 61 Montebello in Jamaica Plain, all eight homes went under agreement during construction, marketed with architectural renderings, virtually staged interiors, finish boards and floor plans.
How can a real estate agent help a developer before construction?
A local agent who sells in the neighborhood every week can advise on unit mix, layouts, parking, outdoor space and finishes based on what buyers are actually paying for, then price and launch the homes.
When should a developer hire a listing agent for new construction?
As early as possible, ideally while plans and finishes are still being decided. At 61 Montebello, early input on layouts, parking and finishes shaped homes that went under agreement before construction was complete.
How do you price new construction condos in Jamaica Plain?
We look at recent new construction and renovated condo sales in Jamaica Plain and nearby Boston neighborhoods, then adjust for size, layout, parking, outdoor space, finishes and energy features like heat pumps, and set a launch price designed to create demand.
Do you sell condo conversions, historic restorations and small multi-family developments?
Yes. Along with ground-up new construction like 61 Montebello, we’ve sold restorations such as 12 Everett Street in Sumner Hill, where a historic Victorian became modern condominiums, plus condo conversions and multi-family homes across Jamaica Plain.
What areas does Arborview cover for new development sales?
Jamaica Plain, Roslindale, West Roxbury and the surrounding Boston neighborhoods, from our office at 709 Centre Street in Jamaica Plain.
