Tucked between Boston’s Back Bay and South End, The Residences at Copley Place offer a rare blend of serenity, location, and lifestyle. Located at 16 Harcourt Street, this nine-story cooperative building sits beside the Southwest Corridor Park, providing a peaceful, green backdrop to one of Boston’s most walkable and well-connected neighborhoods.
What truly sets this building apart is its direct underground access to both Copley Place Mall and Back Bay Station giving residents a weatherproof route to world-class shopping, dining, transit, and entertainment. It’s one of the few residential addresses in Boston where you can go from your front door to Amtrak, the Orange Line, or the Prudential Center without stepping outside.
With its tree-lined setting, proximity to multiple neighborhoods, and direct park access, The Residences at Copley Place attract buyers who value tranquility, accessibility, and long-term stability in a home.

This mid-rise, elevator building includes 104 cooperative residences and maintains a strong sense of community. The building is professionally managed, with a 24-hour concierge on-site to assist residents and maintain a high standard of service. Unlike many modern high-rises, the atmosphere here is decidedly residential; quiet, neighborly, and unpretentious.
Homes vary in size and finish, with many offering open layouts, expansive windows, and views overlooking either the city skyline or the tree-lined Southwest Corridor. Upper-floor units, particularly the penthouses, are especially prized for their panoramic views stretching toward the Back Bay, South End, and even the Blue Hills on the horizon.
Storage and garage parking are available, and many units include in-unit laundry and generous closet space. The common areas are clean and well-maintained, reflecting the building’s long-term appeal and responsible stewardship by the cooperative board.
Unlike traditional condominiums, The Residences at Copley Place operate as a housing cooperative. Buyers purchase shares in the cooperative corporation and hold a proprietary lease for their specific unit. This model fosters a more stable, community-focused environment where residents typically stay long term contributing to the building’s well-kept condition and quiet prestige.
Monthly fees include a portion of real estate taxes, as well as building maintenance and staffing costs. The board of trustees reviews all prospective buyers as part of the application process, ensuring compatibility with the cooperative’s values and guidelines.
While the building does not allow dogs, one cat per residence is permitted. Undergraduate student purchases are not allowed, helping to preserve the residential character of the community. For those who appreciate a quieter, more grounded living experience in one of Boston’s most connected locations, The Residences at Copley Place remain a hidden gem.
