Mill Creek Residential Breaks Ground on Modera Mystic Community

On November 25, 2025, Mill Creek Residential, a prominent name in the rental housing development industry, announced the groundbreaking of Modera Mystic, a contemporary mixed-use community located in Medford, Massachusetts, just north of Boston. This new development aims to meet the rising demand for accessible urban living within a serene suburban environment.

Community Overview

The Modera Mystic community will feature 350 homes alongside 2,000 square feet of retail space. Designed with residents' needs in mind, the podium-style community will consist of two distinct buildings that prioritize comfort and accessibility. Mill Creek's managing director of development, Tim Alexander, expressed excitement about the project, noting that Medford is an increasingly sought-after location due to its balance of city convenience and suburban tranquility.

Scheduled for residents to start moving in by 2027, Modera Mystic is situated strategically at 4000 Mystic Valley Parkway, ensuring excellent connectivity to Downtown Boston and the surrounding metropolitan area. The community is less than a mile away from the earlier Mill Creek project, Modera Medford, which was completed in 2017, establishing a noticeable presence in the area over the years.

Ideal Location

Modera Mystic shines in its commuter-friendly location. The community benefits from close proximity to key thoroughfares such as Interstate 93 and Route 28, allowing residents smooth access to essential destinations. Furthermore, public transportation is also accessible, with the Wellington station of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) Orange Line being only a 13-minute walk, making commuting hassle-free for residents.

Nearby, residents will enjoy Meadow Glen, a shopping center anchored by popular retail giant Wegmans, as well as Torbert MacDonald Park, a stunning 62-acre park offering scenic riverside views, walking trails, and spaces for various outdoor activities including kayaking, jogging, and leisurely gatherings. Additional retail, dining, and entertainment options are also a short drive or walk away, enhancing the community's appeal.

Modern Living Spaces

Modera Mystic will provide a range of housing options, featuring studios, as well as one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments designed with flexible layouts and the option of private balconies or patios. Residents can look forward to luxurious community amenities including:

• - A top-floor sky deck
• - A resort-style swimming pool
• - Grilling and dining areas
• - A resident clubhouse and conference room
• - Coworking spaces and a game room
• - Landscaped courtyards and a pet spa
• - A high-end fitness center equipped for cardio and strength training, alongside a yoga/Pilates space.

Parking solutions will include controlled-access garage areas with EV charging stations, alongside dedicated bike storage and additional storage facilities.

High-Quality Features

The residences themselves will boast oversized windows that allow ample natural light, along with modern fixtures such as wood-style plank flooring, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and elegantly designed bathrooms. Further enhancing the living experience, homes will be equipped with in-unit washers and dryers, spacious closets, smart thermostats, and advanced security features like keyless entry.

The commitment to sustainability is evident at Modera Mystic, as it is being constructed to meet Passive House Institute (PHI) Low Energy Building standards. This certification aims to provide residents with comfortable indoor environments by enhancing air quality and lowering energy consumption through superior architectural design and materials.
