South West Homes for Rent

South West in Lawrence is a neighborhood with a mix of housing options, primarily featuring multi-family units and triple-deckers from the late 1880s to mid-1950s, alongside occasional single-family Colonial Revivals and Cape Cods. Front yards are uncommon, with sidewalks leading directly to multi-family triplexes. The area is known for its vibrant Latin American shops and restaurants, such as La Grekka Café Art & Lounge and Terra Luna, offering diverse dining experiences. Riverfront State Park is a key recreational spot, providing tennis courts, a baseball diamond, trails with Merrimack River views, and a public boat ramp. Donovan Park, located on the neighborhood's southern end, has been renovated with new play structures. The Riverwalk Innovation District, a short walk away, offers renovated spaces for apartments, retail, and medical services. Annual events like the Lawrence Spring Carnival and Bread & Roses Heritage Festival highlight the community's cultural diversity and history. Broadway (State Route 28) serves as the main thoroughfare, connecting residents to Interstates 495 and 93, with Boston and the New Hampshire border about 12 miles away. The Lawrence MBTA Commuter Rail Station, less than 2 miles from South West, provides convenient access to Boston. Boston Logan International Airport is 28 miles away, and Lawrence General Hospital is 2 miles across the Merrimack River. Several parts of South West are at risk of flooding, necessitating flood insurance for some properties.
