Mill Commons boasts the premier location for luxury single-level apartments in Simsbury, CT. Open floor plans accompanied by a variety of upscale features define the one-of-a-kind lifestyle that can only be found at our Simsbury apartment community.

Mill Commons is an 88-unit luxury apartment community built on 10.8 acres on Grist Mill Road in Simsbury, CT. It is part of a master planned community called the Hop Brook Development, which includes connections between the apartments, local office buildings and a restaurant and commercial space in the historic Simsbury Grist Mill. Nelson Construction built the community in 2013 as Construction Manager for Mill Commons LLC.

Mill Commons is comprised of 6 residential buildings of 14 units each, all with in-building garages on the first floor. The units are a higher end product of 927 SF – 1,410 SF apartments, including building elevators, garages, and upscale finishes.

The site also includes a 1,200 SF Pond House community center and leasing office and 4 stand-alone residential units to enhance the “Urban Streetscape” of the main road. The community was designed and engineered by Fuss and O’Neill.
