A residential landscape situated in northern Massachusetts
The Tyngsborough region of northern Massachusetts sits on the state line of New Hampshire, around 40 miles north of Boston. The Merrimack River and Route 3 cut through the largely residential landscape. The nearly parallel arteries flow water and traffic, respectively, north into the Granite State or south further into Massachusetts. “Tyngsborough borders the town I live in,” says Anthony Piacenza, an associate broker with Re/Max. “It’s an older area, and used to be a bunch of farms. I’ve seen the change happen from when the town was a place people cut through to get someplace else. Now, we have all the restaurants and million-dollar homes we’re selling in town. It’s crazy.” Locals are close to multiple wildlife and conservation areas on the west side and to New Hampshire’s Pleasant Lane Mall, which supplies tax-free shopping across the state line just minutes from some parts of Tyngsborough.
Tyngsborough is split by the well-known Merrimack River which offers plenty of outdoor opportunities like fishing, hiking, boating, and swimming.

Architectural variety in Tyngsborough
Single-family homes in Tyngsborough are situated throughout the neighborhood, typically taking the form of colonial-style, ranch-style or Cape Cod architecture. “Housing is a very mixed bag,” Piacenza says. “There are new constructions, tons of condos. I’ve sold a few in Tyngsborough the last couple years. It’s big and it’s very spread-out.” Single-family homes often cost between $600,000 and $800,000, but many are also priced higher than $1 million. Townhouses can be priced between $400,000 and $700,000, while condos typically cost between $300,000 and $350,000. Crime in the Tyngsborough area receives a CAP Index Crime Score of 2 out of 10, below the national average of 4. The area can also experience heavy snowfall in the winter months, sometimes averaging a foot of snow in January. Tyngsborough's CAP Index crime score is a 2 out of 10, below the national average of 4.

Established conservation areas on the edge of Tyngsborough
The Farnsworth Wildlife Refuge sits along the northwestern boundary of Tyngsborough, close to the Dunstable Brook and Elbow Meadow Wildlife Management Areas. All three span over 100 acres and are commonly used for hiking and wildlife viewing. Dunstable Brook and Elbow Meadow also accommodate hunting and trapping. On the east side, Mascuppic Lake offers a boat ramp and is popular for swimmers and boaters during the summer. The lake is also used for fishing tournaments. The Merrimack River is a destination for boating, swimming and more.
The private Vesper Country Club partially sits on Tyngs Island in the Merrimack, with its 18-hole course spanning the island and some parts of the mainland across the river. A small bridge allows golfers to continue play from hole to hole. “It’s one of the oldest country clubs still functioning,” Piacenza says. “I used to work there. It’s private and you have to buy in, and they even do weddings, but you have to be sponsored by a member to get in.” Off the east side, the Lowell-Dracut State Forest sprawls across over 1,000 acres and features over 6 miles of pathways through nature for hiking, biking and skiing.
Locals get fresh air amongst the green space and walking paths found throughout Tyngsborough.

Tax-free shopping at the Pheasant Lane Mall
A few restaurants are scattered around Tyngsborough. Sullivan Farms Homemade Ice Cream has served frozen treats near the Merrimack River for over 25 years, while Flint’s Corner Pizza & Seafood is family-owned and also offers salads and subs in southwestern Tyngsborough. Along the west side of the area, The Boat offers burgers and cocktails paired with lake-view dining on Mascuppic Lake. The Sandbar Beach Club and Grill is a private establishment on Long Pond close by, doubling dining with water activities. Moviegoers can catch new releases at AMC Tyngsboro 12, close to the state line and part of the 440 shopping complex. Nearby, Smokey Bones Tyngsboro serves up classic American dishes and Bahama Breeze has a Caribbean menu.
Shoppers often head to the Pheasant Lane Mall, just north across the state line in New Hampshire, to shop without additional sales tax. The mall ranges from just minutes away from homes in northern Tyngsborough to just over 10 miles from the area’s southernmost regions. “If you want to go to a mall and not pay tax, you’re going to go to Pheasant Lane Mall,” Piacenza says. “Most of the people from Massachusetts go there. There are nice restaurants and they just put in a Nash Casino at the mall, so that would be a big draw.” The mall offers stores like a Costco, Trader Joe’s and Market Basket for grocery shopping.
Locals rant and rave with one another when hanging out at the Sandbar Beach Club in Tyngsborough.

Seasonal festivals on the Tyngsborough calendar
Each year, the region rings in the holiday season with the Tyngsborough Festival of Trees in late November and early December, where raffles for decorated Christmas trees are paired with a celebration featuring live music, games and local artists selling their work. The Tyngsboro Block Party by the Bridge takes place in the late summer and showcases local vendors, food trucks, live music and more. The event is capped off with a fireworks display over the Merrimack River near the Tyngsborough Bridge.
