From textile mills to modern amenities
Once the heart of a historic 1700s mill town producing textiles and shoes, Downtown Methuen is now a car-friendly neighborhood highly connected to modern amenities by major roads. “There is a little bit of everything here,” says Trevor Gearin, a Realtor with Lamacchia Realty who has served the community for over 18 years and has lived in Methuen his whole life. “You have the Merrimack River, two highways, and the city borders New Hampshire, so you have access to major airports as well as commuting options.” Here, the streets are lined with multifamily and single-family homes dating as far back as the late 1800s, and the community is full of riverside trails and historic sights, including the ruins of a castle. The neighborhood is also close to numerous shopping and dining options around Methuen and neighboring areas like Lawrence.

The main veins of I-93 and 495
Downtown Methuen is car-friendly and popular with commuters, especially since Boston is only 29 miles south and Manchester is 25 miles to the north in New Hampshire. Interstate 95 acts as the western boundary for the neighborhood, while Interstate 495 runs along the east less than 4 miles away. Both roads are connected by State Route 213, which Gearin says is commonly known as “the loop.” Those who wish to take public transportation can head to the Lawrence commuter rail station just south of the neighborhood. Holy Family Hospital’s Methuen branch lies on the neighborhood's eastern side, and Boston Logan International Airport is 31 miles away.
Methuen is surrounded by highways making it an easy access to other cities.
Lawrence train station is available for commuters in the area.

Martin Riverside Park sits on the southern end of the neighborhood along the Merrimack River, offering additional spaces for a picnic and background sounds of the river. Greycourt State Park is behind city hall and preserves the history of the Tenney Castle ruins for residents to enjoy under the shade of mature maple trees. “It is very serene and has beautiful stonework all around,” Gearin says.
