Looking South down Dalton St. shows the variety of homes within the Centralville area.
Friendly vibe and nearby amenities
Tucked against a bend in the Merrimack River, Centralville offers an urban experience in a suburban environment — a sector of the city just over a mile from Downtown Lowell that combines relative housing affordability with commuting access to Boston and New Hampshire. “It is a very community-oriented, friendly area close to downtown and UMass Lowell,” says Bob Ciccarelli, the broker-owner at Ciccarelli Homes who has lived and sold there for over 30 years. “It’s a good place to live if you like amenities being close by.” It makes Centralville the type of area where locals like to put down roots. “You see a lot of people that grow up there tend to stay there,” says area Realtor Chris Doherty, president of Doherty Properties.
Older colonial-style homes
Lowell originated as a mill town, and much of the housing in the city, including Centralville, reflects that era. There was an economic boom in the late 1800s and early 1900s, Doherty says, which caused demand for housing for mill workers. A lot of those houses still stand in Centralville today, though there are also newer homes. What Doherty says he loves about Lowell is the character that seeps from the city’s well-preserved turn-of-the-century infrastructure. “Lowell did a great job with historic restoration,” he says. A combination of multi- and single-family layouts dot Centralville, often built in colonial styles, from more traditional colonials to Dutch Colonials and the locally popular New Englander, but there are also a handful of Victorians. Christian Hill, a southeastern pocket of Centralville, is situated on one of Lowell’s peaks — it’s a spot from which you can see the whole city, Doherty says. “Some people go at night and stargaze,” he says. Single-family homes in Centralville typically cost between $400,000 and $550,000, while multi-family houses max out around $700,000. A single unit in a multi-family, Doherty says, can sell for around $225,000. The neighborhood also provides residents the chance to earn some equity. “I would say that out of all of the areas in Lowell, Centralville is one of the most up-and-coming neighborhoods,” Ciccarelli says. “Some are more prestigious, but it’s getting more and more attention.”

Cameo Diner’s traditional American breakfast
Centralville's walkable streets make reaching its small but diverse collection of restaurants a breeze even on foot. Top Donut or Cameo Diner are popular spots to start the day, and Crown Fried Chicken is known for its halal menu and the fantastic curly fries that come with their chicken. According to Doherty, it’s even feasible to walk across the bridge to downtown, where there are even more dining and entertainment options like TreMonte Pizzeria Restaurant & Bar and Cobblestones of Lowell. Brew'd Awakening Coffeehaus is also a frequented hub among locals. “It’s a meeting spot,” Doherty says. “They’ve got great drinks.” El Bombazo Meat Market offers groceries a short walk from home, while Market Basket or Hannaford provide more options less than 2 miles away.

Food and live music at Lowell Folk Festival
The Lowell Folk Festival, which is the longest-running and the second-largest free folk festival in the nation, is held a short walk away in Downtown Lowell. “The annual folk festival is a big deal,” Doherty says. It takes up the last full weekend of each July and attracts people from all over the country with its multiple stages, food, drinks and more.

Hovey Park is popular for its large, recently refurbished playground and athletic field. McPherson Park offers even more athletic space, including basketball and tennis courts and baseball fields. Residents also flock there during the summer for its public swimming pool.
