The Almont Apartments are historic apartments at 1439-43 and 1447-51 Blue Hill Avenue in the Mattapan neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. They are a pair of three-story brick buildings, occupying the block between Almont and Tennis Streets. These Colonial Revival buildings were designed by Saul Moffie, a local architect, and built in 1926 to answer growing demand for housing in the area which had been fueled by the expansion of the streetcar network along Blue Hill Avenue. Most of the growth was in the Jewish population, which was migrating to the area from locations closer to Boston's financial district.[2]

The apartments were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.[1]
