Riverside living in downtown Lowell has a name: 35 Riverwalk Way R320, sitting in the Lowell-Downtown riverwalk district where the Merrimack River bends past the old mill complexes. This is the side of downtown where the city feels like a river town again — walkways along the water, historic brick everywhere you look, and the whole energy of the district a short stroll away. Here's the street and neighborhood spotlight.
The Riverwalk Setting
Riverwalk Way hugs the Merrimack in the heart of Lowell's downtown, steps from the Lowell National Historical Park and the canal system that made this city famous. The riverfront walkway gives residents a built-in morning run or evening stroll route with water views and the old iron bridges framing the skyline. Boarding House Park — home of the Lowell Summer Music Series — is right in the neighborhood, turning summer evenings into free concerts under the stars.
Downtown at Your Doorstep
From 35 Riverwalk Way R320, downtown Lowell's full menu is on foot: dinner and drinks along Merrimack and Market Streets, shows at the Tsongas Center and Lowell Memorial Auditorium, and the independent at The Hive for film nights. The Lowell Folk Festival takes over the surrounding streets every summer, and the Boott Cotton Mills Museum anchors the historic district just around the corner.
Commute and Character
The character here is pure mill-city romance: red brick, granite canals, and waterways meeting a walkable downtown. For commuters, the Lowell commuter rail station (Gallagher Terminal) is nearby with direct trains to Boston's North Station, and Routes 3 and 495 are an easy drive.
