To that end, we develop, own, operate, and provide supportive services to every one of our communities. In all we do, we advocate for and empower older adults to age with purpose and joy, meeting the integrated needs of seniors guided by our shared values of kindness, community, and repairing the world.
2Life owns and operates over 1,500 apartments, 94% of which are affordable, located on campuses in Brighton, Brookline, Newton, Framingham, and Devens, Massachusetts.

We anticipate continued growth in the size of our portfolio, the geography in which we operate, and the diversity of our residents in terms of race, ethnicity, income levels, and need for supportive services.
