Imagine snagging a Boston studio for just $750 a month—less than a third of the neighborhood average. That’s exactly what Elisa and Vivian Girard have pulled off in Dorchester, building 14 micro-apartments by hand to help locals stay in the community. Instead of chasing profits, they poured thousands of hours into creating a place where restaurant workers and singles can actually afford their own space. With thoughtful touches like a common room, bike storage, and a private patio, this project is more than just housing—it’s a statement about what neighbors can do for each other.
