What I Like about the Village at Crown Colony One of the best condominium complexes in Quincy, Massachusetts in my humble opinion is The Village at Crown Colony. The property is located on Village Drive in Quincy which is in the back of the Crown Colony Office Complex. It is really close to the Quincy Adams T Station. The Village at Crown Colony is designed to look like a quaint New England Village. All of the homes are essentially townhouse style condominiums. There are 100 units in the complex. The complex is complete. The units were built in the late 1990's. They are all really well kept. On site, there is a common clubhouse which can be rented out for parties and functions.
