Windsor Property Management divides Jack Flats into three distinct building types: Jack Flats Classic Apartments, Jack Flats Mill Apartments, and Radio Factory Lofts.
Jack Flats Mill is the standout. The four-story repurposed solid brick mill building features ceiling heights of 15 to 25 feet with exposed beams and brick. Classic units offer 9-to-10-foot ceilings with contemporary finishes and private balconies. Radio Factory Lofts sit inside the historic factory structure with oversized windows at ceiling heights between 9 and 14 feet.
Jack Flats apartments include stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, gas ranges, in-unit washer and dryer, and luxury vinyl plank flooring across all collections.

Jack Flats includes an affordable housing component with below-market-rate units. Area Median Income (AMI) is the federal benchmark used to set income eligibility thresholds. In the greater Boston area, AMI for a one-person household is approximately $93,000 (as of Q2 2026). Contact the leasing office or Housing Navigator MA for availability.
The campus includes a heated saltwater pool, a 24-hour fitness center with yoga and spinning studio, and two fenced dog parks with a dog wash station. An outdoor kitchen with grills, a sun terrace with fire pit, and coworking spaces with a conference room round out the shared areas.
The historic Gatehouse building houses a resident clubroom with restored fireplaces. A recording studio is available. EV charging stations are on site. Jack Flats participates in Bilt Rewards for rent payment points.
Wyoming Hill Station is the MBTA commuter rail stop nearest to Jack Flats, serving the Haverhill/Newburyport Line with service to North Station in Boston in under 20 minutes on most weekday departures (as of Q2 2026).
An MBTA bus stop sits directly in front of the property. Walkability to both the MBTA Orange Line and the commuter rail gives residents two distinct rail options. Drivers can access I-93 for a direct route into Boston. Assembly Row in Somerville offers an Orange Line connection at Assembly Station.
Downtown Melrose sits within walking distance, with coffee shops, restaurants, and independent retail along Main Street. The Middlesex Fells Reservation encompasses over 1,700 acres of trails accessible from the property.
Assembly Row in Somerville includes dining, retail, and entertainment a short drive south. Market Street Lifestyle Center in Lynnfield offers additional shopping within a 10-minute drive.
The campus sits on two historic industrial sites. The Boston Rubber Shoe Co. operated a factory here where Jack Purcell designed his signature Converse sole, giving the Jack Flats name its origin. The adjacent facility was an early radio equipment engineering building. The mill building was repurposed into residential lofts, completed in 2014.
Windsor Radio Factory holds a 4.5-star rating from Google reviewers (as of Q2 2026). That rating reflects the full campus, not Jack Flats units alone. Prospective renters should request a tour of the specific collection they are considering and ask to speak with current residents for firsthand feedback.
