About KBL Apartments

KBL is part of The Residences of University Park Collection. Each one of the four apartment communities has its own approach to life. An outlook thoughtfully expressed in every detail. What unites them all is lush, open space. Which one fits... you?Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Kennedy Biscuit Lofts (KBL) were once home to the Frank A. Kennedy Steam Bakery, which produced Lorna Doone and Fig Newton cookies. Today, many of the architectural details original to its 1875 construction, like exposed brick walls and wooden beams, add to the charm of each open floorplan apartment. Come tour today.

Decent and relatively cheap place to live compared to other buildings in the Cambridge neighborhood. The buildings are very old and often run into frequent maintenance issues. If it doesn't happen in your unit, it's a great place to be at. But if you have to deal with maintenance issues, it can be a living nightmare.
