Merrimac Condo for Sale

Once a mill town, Merrimac is now a charming New England community beloved by its residents. With plenty of ways to connect with nature and an array of modern conveniences, Merrimac is a small suburban town that values a high quality of life at a slower pace. "It's Merrimac's small-town feel that draws people to live there," says Rosalee DiScipio, an Essex County resident and Realtor with Lamacchia Realty. "You still get a rural feel, but it's easily commutable with its proximity to the highways." Along Merrimac's quiet sidewalk-lined streets dotted with leafy, mature trees sit a charming mix of home styles from colonials and Cape Cods to bungalows and ranch styles. Some of Merrimac's eclectic collection of homes date back as far as the mid-1800s, while many were built between the 1950s and 1990s, with some new builds in the mix, too. "There's a wide variety of home ages in Merrimac," DiScipio says."You can get a house that's 200 years old or two days old." Home sizes range from 1,100 to 4,000 square feet with two to five bedrooms, and prices span from $175,000 to over $1.2 million. "Merrimac tends to be more affordable and has lower tax rates than some of the other nearby areas,"
