West Chelmsford House for Sale

West Chelmsford is a suburban enclave along U.S. Route 3, a busy commuter route to Boston and Nashua, New Hampshire. “Residents enjoy the peaceful feel of suburban living while still having the ability to access the city and also travel to New Hampshire,” says Daniele Parravano, a real estate agent with Re/Max Distinct Advantage who’s sold homes in the area for 10 years. “The school system is also highly rated and highly regarded, making it an attractive place for families.” The nearby city of Lowell has a train station with routes to Boston, and proximity to New Hampshire allows residents to take advantage of tax-free shopping. Parks, nature preserves and nearby shopping centers add to West Chelmsford’s appeal. The colonial, bi-level and ranch-style houses here are on tree-filled properties of usually around half an acre, allowing space for backyard pools. Most were built in the 1950s and ‘60s, and have paved driveways leading to attached garages, so street parking is uncommon. Streets here are narrow and don’t have sidewalks. There are also a few cottages from the early 1900s and a subdivision of new traditional homes from the 1990s. Prices typically range from around $520,000
