Interstate access and relative affordability in South Lowell
South Lowell lies on the outskirts of the city of Lowell, balanced between urban and suburban. Some blocks have tree-shaded single-family homes with grassy lawns, while others are lined with multifamily structures. Real estate in South Lowell is generally more affordable than in neighboring communities, which makes it accessible to first-time homebuyers, says Michelle Fermin, team lead for the Fermin Group of Century 21 North Shore, who was born and raised about 7 miles from Lowell. Interstate access and public transportation links commuters to downtown Lowell and Boston.
Views of the Concord River from Muldoon Park
There are a few small green spaces in South Lowell, including Muldoon Park, which rests beside the Concord River, and Donahue Field, which has a small playground. Just north of the community is Shedd Park, a 50-acre expanse filled with assorted playgrounds and sports fields, as well as a spray park. The pavilion here hosts concerts — from the Lowell Philharmonic Orchestra, for example — and can be reserved by locals for private events. The Concord River itself also provides an opportunity for waterside outdoor time. Several of Lowell’s youth sports teams play at the Cawley Memorial Stadium, which is around 2 miles from the community.

Close to the Lowell commuter rail station and I-495
One of the major benefits of South Lowell is its proximity to highways and public transportation. Interstate 495 crosses through the community, and it connects to both U.S. Route 3 and Interstate 93. Downtown Boston and the Boston Logan International Airport are about 30 miles southeast. There are several Lowell Regional Transit Authority bus stops in the neighborhood and a Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority commuter rail station approximately 2 miles northwest. Lowell General Hospital is also a few miles away. It has a Level III Trauma Center and a helipad for transporting patients who require more specialized care.
The Corner Café and Brando’s Pizza & Subs
South Lowell has a couple of locally owned restaurants along Lawrence Street. The Corner Café serves traditional diner favorites, and Brando’s Pizza & Subs offers everything from cheesesteaks to grilled shrimp. In Downtown Lowell — about 2 miles north — restaurants range from casual Dominican fare to Asian fusion. Market Basket, Stop & Shop and Hannaford supermarkets are all within a few miles of South Lowell. Tewksbury is just east of the neighborhood, and it has several big-box stores, including Walmart and the Home Depot.

Single-family homes and multifamily investment properties in South Lowell
Though the majority of South Lowell housing consists of multifamily options, there are a few single-family residences as well. Many of the condos date back to the late 1900s, and the townhouses tend to be a little newer. Units generally range in price from $250,000 to $500,000. There are also a few early 1900s Colonial Revivals and Queen Annes that have been converted into multifamily dwellings. These often appeal to first-time homebuyers who can rent out a portion to subsidize their mortgage costs, explains Fermin. “It allows them to establish income.” These multifamily-converted homes sometimes list between $600,000 and $650,000. With a good mix of Colonial Revivals, Cape Cods and ranch-style houses, South Lowell also has some possibilities for buyers looking for a little more privacy. Homes often rest on grassy lots behind medium-height fences or hedges, and some include driveways for off-street parking. Pricing for single-family residences might fall between $350,000 and $550,000. Commuter rail trains pass through the community between Epping and Stratham streets. Though trees along the tracks provide a small buffer, the noise of passing trains may be disruptive to residents.
