Washington Square Residence

The Place You Call Home

Since the early days the Industrial Revolution LHW/WSR has provided safe and appropriate housing to single individuals. Once a women’s only facility, we now offer affordable, supportive, and accessible housing to all. Conveniently located on Rte 1A North, we are on the bus line and within walking distance to the commuter rail, shopping, and health care. We are close to the beach, the downtown arts & cultural district and North Shore Community College.

Mission Statement

The new Washington Square Residence serves single persons who seek affordable housing and the security of a furnished, managed home . The diverse population of residents includes working individuals, many of whom are attending school, as well as those who desire a safe and supportive environment. The WSR provides efficiency studios and furnished rooms and encourages a sense of community with sharing of meals, social activities, and opportunities for scholarship assistance and job training.
