Located in Medford, MA, the City Lounge & Patios is a sophisticated rooftop amenity space designed to blend indoor comfort with outdoor living. The interior lounge is defined by dramatic floor-to-ceiling curtain-wall glazing that wraps around the perimeter, flooding the space with natural light and framing sweeping panoramic views of the Medford cityscape and surrounding treetops. Light hardwood-style flooring and crisp white ceilings contribute to the airy, contemporary aesthetic throughout. The lounge area is furnished with sleek black modular sofas arranged over a vibrant teal-accented area rug, complemented by modern drum pendant lighting. A high-top communal table with metal bar stools provides an additional seating arrangement suited for casual gatherings or collaborative use. Large sliding glass doors connect the interior to a generously sized outdoor patio finished in large-format stone tile. The patio is outfitted with multiple seating configurations, including lounge chairs, wicker armchairs, and a dining table with chairs, offering versatile options for relaxation and outdoor entertaining. Wall-mounted lighting fixtures on the surrounding building facade enhance the patio's usability. Together, the interior lounge and outdoor patio create a seamless, elevated retreat with abundant natural light and commanding views of the surrounding area.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
