The streets of Belvidere are lined with iconic New England homes and greenery.
Quiet suburban streets close to downtown Lowell
Just 2 miles away from downtown Lowell along the Merrimack River lies Belvidere, an older neighborhood in the city that offers historic homes and yard space while still being close to the urban amenities of downtown. Homes in the neighborhood match its age, with many houses built in the mid-1800s on large lots under the shade of towering red maple trees. These homes are just a hop, skip and jump from downtown amenities, like schools, restaurants and shopping. “This section of Lowell is rich in history as it was where many of the mill owners built their luxurious homes at the start of the century,” says Chris Doherty, owner of Doherty Properties, which has been serving the area for over 20 years. The location is also “known for its cultural diversity, vibrant community, and rich industrial history, making it a unique and picturesque area to explore.”
Colonial homes alongside the Merrimack River
Homes in Belvidere often sit on large lots compared to houses closer to downtown Lowell, allowing larger backyards and gardens to pop up throughout the neighborhood. Many homes also feature large driveways to help keep the quiet streets open for all. Architectural styles can vary, with Colonial Revival, ranch-style and Cape Cod homes built as far back as the mid-1800s lining the roads. Views can also vary in the neighborhood, with “Many of the homes having beautiful views of the Merrimack River,” Doherty says. Prices commonly range from around $400,000 to $900,000.

Shedd Park is widely known by the residents of Belvidere for having spacious recreational fields.
Picnics and play at Kittredge and Shedd Park
Kids at play can be heard all over the neighborhood, especially at popular greenspaces like Kittredge Park. This facility is partially shaded, thanks to the assortment of maple trees that dot it, and the open grass is an ideal spot to plop down for a picnic under the shade. For a larger recreation spot, there is also Shedd Park, a 50-acre tract with a playground, a spray park, tennis courts and several athletic fields. Hockey and ice skating can also be enjoyed at the Janas Memorial Skating Rink, which offers skate rentals and lessons on the neighborhood’s southern end.
Handmade with care and attention, TreMonte Pizzeria serves fresh pies from its brick oven.

Cobblestones of Lowell is less than a mile from the neighborhood and is “known for its American cuisine, craft beers, and historic ambiance,” Doherty says. Tremonte Pizzeria is another nearby eatery that Doherty says offers “mouthwatering brick oven pizza” and recommends trying the sausage and ricotta cheese pizza.

Downtown Lowell commuting options
Belvidere offers residents all manner of commuting and transportation options, with one of the neighborhood’s larger draws being its accessibility to Interstates 93 and 495 as well as Route 3. For those who do not want to drive the 29 miles to Boston, the Lowell MBTA commuter rail station can reach downtown in 45 minutes, and the Lowell Regional Transit Authority bus terminal puts all of Lowell a short trip away. Both public transportation options are just 2 miles away from the neighborhood. The neighborhood’s streets are also commonly full of smaller trips, like residents out walking the dog or taking the kids to school, so there is a high chance of meeting a neighbor or a friend while walking around. Transatlantic travel can be found at Boston Logan International Airport, 31 miles to the south, and Lowell General Hospital’s Saints Campus sits right on the neighborhood’s northwestern end.
Just a short walk around Belvidere and locals will find Kittredge Park by the Merrimack River.
Belvidere and Lowell events

WinterFest is another popular downtown Lowell event that offers two days of activities in February, ranging from ice sculptures and live music to the ever-popular annual soup competition. The competition showcases soups and chowders from area restaurants sampled by judges and residents.
