Residential neighborhood across the river from downtown Lawrence
Once an industrial community near the banks of the Merrimack River, Mount Vernon is now a residential haven in Lawrence that nearly 6,800 people call home. “It’s very family-oriented,” says Realtor Jefri Liriano, head of the Liriano Team with Keller Williams, who grew up in Lawrence. “I still go there for trick-or-treating every Halloween.” He describes it as the kind of neighborhood where kids leave their bikes in the yard while they play together. Locals spend the afternoon at Mount Vernon Park and cross the river to enjoy dinner at one of the local restaurants in the city. It is about a 27-mile drive to Boston.

Semana Hispana is annual celebration of Hispanic culture
While Lawrence only has a few events throughout the year, there is one that sticks out in Liriano’s mind: Semana Hispana, or Hispanic Week. “When I was growing up, everyone was looking forward to Hispanic Week,” he says. The event started in 1979 after Isabel Melendez attended the Puerto Rican Festival in Boston and wanted a space for all Latin American countries to express their cultures and folklore. Today, the program includes live music, food, and fair rides that anyone can enjoy.
Lawrence High School split into academies
Lawrence Public Schools serve the community. Frost Elementary School teaches kindergarten through fourth grade, while Frost Middle School offers fifth through eighth grade; both schools receive a C from Niche. Lawrence High School, which earns a B-minus, is split into different academies. The “Lower” Academies are for ninth and 10th grade and are focused on transitioning into high school and developing academic skills, while the “Upper” Academies encompass 11th and 12th grade. These prepare students for life after graduation through internships, Early College classes through North Essex Community College and Merrimack College and capstone projects. The Abbott Lawrence Academy is an admissions-based academy within Lawrence High that offers a more advanced course load.

Kids run around Mount Vernon Park
Mount Vernon Park sits at the bottom of the neighborhood, with a baseball field and playground for kids to run around. “I went to high school in Lawrence, and I remember going to the park to play basketball after school,” Liriano says. The nearby Den Rock Park is 120 acres of forest that offers residents an escape from city life, with four trails where they can hike among the oak and pine trees while keeping an eye out for herons and woodchucks. The Lawrence Public Library is across the river and lets patrons check out books or attend movie nights, craft classes and book clubs. Members of the Andover Country Club, about 3 miles away, can golf at the 18-hole championship golf course. The course was originally conceived by W.H. Follet, who passed away before it could be completed. Donald Ross finished the design.
