Where Haverhill spreads out

On the Massachusetts-New Hampshire state line, Upper Main Street is a Haverhill neighborhood with suburban comfort. “The thing with Haverhill is you have dense urban areas and then places that are super rural,” says Realtor with Keller Williams and Haverhill local Vivien Marcus. “You can get houses with large pieces of property.” Away from the town center, this is where Haverhill starts to spread out. As the name suggests, Upper Main Street consists of some of Main Street, a commercial thoroughfare, and the residential roads branching off it. Plus, the neighborhood has easy access to major roadways and scenic outdoor spaces.

Variety of housing options and a suburban feel

Upper Main Street’s single-family homes sit on large, landscaped lots. Residential roads are wide and walkable, and the neighborhood has a classic suburban feel. There’s a variety of home styles, from Colonial Revivals and Dutch Colonials to Arts and Crafts and ranch-style homes. Single-family properties typically run between $340,000 and $655,000, depending on the size, age and condition. There are also condos in the area, in communities like Northside Condominiums and the Village at Brickett Hill. These units can cost $215,000 to $325,000, while nearby townhouses run in the $440,000 to $525,000 range. “There are low property taxes in this town,” Marcus says. “It makes housing very affordable for a lot of people that get priced out of other towns.”

Nearby outdoor escapes and recreation

John’s Woods at Tattersall Farm is just west. Once a working dairy farm, the park now has well-maintained trails weaving through forests, fields and wetlands. This is a popular spot for hiking and bird-watching. It’s next to the 57-acre Crystal Shores Conservation Area, a protected area with trails through the woods and by Crystal Lake. The lake is a primary water supply source for Haverhill, so swimming and boating are not allowed; however, fishing from the shore is permitted with a license. Golfers tee off at the adjacent Crystal Lake Golf Club, an 18-hole public course. The Clement Farm Disc Golf Course is also in the neighborhood.

Hikers can enjoy a few well marked trails around Crystal Lake at the Crystal Shores Conversation Area.

Traveling through the Merrimack Valley

“Geographically, we’re in a great location to get around the Merrimack Valley,” Marcus says. “We have very easy access to the major highways in the area.” Interstate 495, which connects to interstates 95 and 93, borders the community to the south. The neighborhood also has easy access to Route 125. Merrimack Valley Regional Transit Authority bus routes run along North Avenue and connect to nearby communities like Larence and Newbury Port. Downtown Haverhill is about 3 miles south. Here, residents will find an MBTA train station, with the Haverhill Line providing direct access to Boston’s North Station, about 35 miles south. While there isn’t an airport in the area, the Boston Logan International Airport is about 40 miles south.

The MBTA busses run throughout the city of Haverhill providing reliable transportation to all.
