Our mission is to ensure that all seniors have the opportunity to thrive regardless of their income level or background. 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. Another 500+ apartments are in development in Devens, Lynn, Mattapan, Newton, and Waltham, Massachusetts.
