Kerouac fans and Merrimack River recreation
The largest of the nearly dozen neighborhoods that make up Lowell, Pawtucketville is a historic residential community on the banks of the Merrimack River that was first settled by colonists in 1668. Writer Jack Kerouac grew up in Pawtucketville, penning his first semi-autobiographical novel, Maggie Cassidy, as a 17-year-old student at Lowell High School. Today, the nonprofit Lowell Celebrates Kerouac organization sponsors festivals and tours that draw in Kerouac fans from around the world as well as literary competitions for local students. Modern-day residents enjoy access to riverside paths, forested hiking trails and water-based recreation while remaining within commuting distance of downtown Boston.

Hiking and river sports near Pawtucketville
Pawtucketville’s natural surroundings make it a prime spot for kayaking, hiking, or simply enjoying the views. Locals can run or bike along the riverfront path in the Vandenberg Esplanade, swim in the calm waters at Rynne Beach, or take in an outdoor concert at Sampas Pavilion, a 1,000-seat amphitheater in Lowell Heritage State Park. At the Bellegarde Boathouse, people rent kayaks and paddleboards, and some learn to row a sculling boat with the Merrimac River Rowing Association. Those who prefer the woods can head to the neighborhood’s north side, where half of the Lowell-Dracut-Tyngsboro State Forest crosses over into Pawtucketville. The forest stretches over 1,000 acres in total, offering over 6 miles of wooded trails that are used for cross-country skiing, hiking and mountain biking. On rainy days, can bowl and play arcade games at Bowlero Lowell. Golfers can find a private, 18-hole course at the Vesper Country Club, about 1 mile west of Pawtucketville.
The Lowell-Dracut-Tyngsborough State Forest is a local favorite for outdoor recreation.

Supporting Pawtucketville’s local businesses
Though there is a convenient shopping center along Pawtucket Boulevard with a Market Basket Supermarket and Marshall’s, many residents head to New Hampshire for tax-free shopping, says Andrea Dillon, Realtor with LAER Realty Partners and lifetime area resident. The community is home to a few chain restaurants and pizza joints — locals love Spartans Pizzeria — but most of the nearest dine-in restaurants are across the Merrimack River in The Highlands neighborhood, including Pho 88, an authentic Vietnamese eatery. “Everything is so close — Lowell’s not that big,” Dillon says. “There are always new restaurants popping up in downtown.” Cobblestones of Lowell, which is about 2 miles from Pawtucketville, is one of her favorites.

Multifamily living near UMass and the Lowell General Hospital
The residential streets meander among the mature trees between the Merrimack River and Lowell-Dracut-Tyngsborough State Forest. “It’s the more country part of the city,” Dillon says. “It’s like you’re in the city, and then you’re in the mountains.” With the forest bordering the western part of the neighborhood and the University of Massachusetts Lowell near the eastern half, the two sides have very different characteristics. To the west of Lowell General Hospital, the community feels decidedly suburban, with large ranch and Colonial Revival homes from the 1970s and 1980s resting on expansive, grassy lawns along cul-de-sacs. Buyers might find a three-bedroom residence in the $500,000 to $750,000 range. Between the hospital and UMass, mid-1900s single-family ranches and early 1900s multifamily dwellings sit close together along sidewalk-lined, gridded streets. Condo units and townhouses sell between $250,000 to $480,000, and multifamilies run from $550,000 to $800,000 with a few outliers. Due to Pawtucketville’s location near the river, some properties may lie in floodplains, requiring a few homeowners to purchase flood insurance.

Learning at Kerouac's alma mater
Children begin their education at Pawtucketville Memorial Elementary, a B-minus-rated school on Niche with a student-teacher ratio of 13-to-1. From there, students graduate to An Wang Middle School — which earns a C-plus on Niche — and finally, Kerouac’s alma mater, Lowell High School, a B-rated school with an average SAT score of 1170. The community is also home to the University of Massachusetts Lowell, a public university with more than 18,000 students. The school’s athletics programs are among the attractions for those who live nearby, particularly the River Hawks’ Division I ice hockey team.
Dr. An Wang Middle School located in Lowell, serves grades 6-8 for residents in Pawtucketville.

Celebrating heritage on the water
Many of the city of Lowell’s events are centered around the river, and Pawtucketville residents have some of the best access. On the third Saturday of each August, the Esplanade hosts the Lowell Southeast Asian Water Festival, a cultural heritage celebration featuring food, performances and boat races. The festival has existed for more than 20 years, and each year, it draws thousands of visitors from around the country. There is also a regatta in June and the Lowell Spring Carnival usually takes place over a few weeks toward the end of May.
Commuting from Lowell to Boston
Pawtucketville’s location along the northern banks of the Merrimack River puts it just 9 miles from Pelham, New Hampshire, and more than 30 from Boston. With employers, including UMass Lowell and the Lowell General Hospital within the community, some residents walk to work. Those who don’t can drive along state Route 113, a four-lane divided road that runs through the community, to link up with Interstate 93. Drivers can also cross the Merrimack to access U.S. Route 3 and a Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority commuter rail station with trains to Boston, both about 2 miles south of the river. However, the narrow bridges that cross the Merrimack are often congested during rush hour, adding extra time to commutes.
The LRTA provides bus service to the Lowell Station and throughout the Pawtucketville area.
Catch the MBTA Commuter Rail at the nearby Lowell Station with service into Boston.
