The Lofts at 305 Dutton Street: What It Is Like to Live in Downtown Lowell

The Lofts at 305 Dutton Street is a historic five-story loft building in the heart of downtown Lowell, renovated to create true loft style rental homes while keeping the architecture that made the building worth saving. If you want to live in the middle of the city, steps to downtown and in the middle of everything Lowell does, this is the building.

The Lofts

These are real lofts, the kind renters hunt for and rarely find. Open concept layouts give you one big, flexible living space instead of chopped up rooms. High ceilings and oversized windows bring in the light and make every unit feel bigger than its square footage. Many of the lofts offer more than 1,000 square feet of living space, with hardwood flooring, marble baths, and granite countertops. It is historic mill building character with a renovated finish, and parking is included.

The building is pet friendly, so your dog or cat is welcome here, and there is an on-site fitness center for residents.

Steps to Downtown

Living at 305 Dutton means the car stays parked. The Lowell commuter rail station is a short walk away for the ride into Boston. UMass Lowell and Middlesex Community College are both a short walk. So are the Tsongas Center and the Spinners ballpark. Lowell’s best restaurants and nightlife are right around you downtown.

The Activities: What Living Here Actually Looks Like

This is the part renters underestimate until they live it. From 305 Dutton, your week can look like this:

• Hockey nights and concerts at the Tsongas Center, home of the UMass Lowell River Hawks, a short walk from your door.
• Summer baseball at LeLacheur Park with the Lowell Spinners, one of the best small ballpark experiences in New England.
• Live theatre at Merrimack Repertory Theatre on East Merrimack Street, producing professional plays in the heart of downtown.
• Concerts under the stars at Boarding House Park, home of the Lowell Summer Music Series, plus the Lowell Folk Festival every July, the largest free folk festival in the country, spread across downtown stages.
• History on your walks: Lowell National Historical Park, the Boott Mills museum and the canal system that powered the American Industrial Revolution, all woven through the downtown streets around you.
• Art and makers: The Hive on Merrimack Street, Western Ave Studios with hundreds of working artists, and galleries throughout downtown.
• Eating and going out: the restaurant and bar scene along Merrimack Street and Market Street, coffee shops, and the downtown farmers market in season.
• A quiet moment at Kerouac Park, honoring Lowell’s own Jack Kerouac, and the riverwalk along the Merrimack River.

Downtown Lowell is a real, working, living downtown, and 305 Dutton puts you in the middle of it.
