Boott Mills East
Boott Mills East
Boott Mills East is the 141 John Street side of the Boott Cotton Mills story, loft apartments set in one of Lowell’s most storied mill buildings, right where the Merrimack River bends past the downtown. This is the rental half of the Boott Mills world: the Apartments at Boott Mills, a community built around the landmark that helped start the American Industrial Revolution.
The lofts run one to three bedrooms, roughly 800 to 1,520 square feet, with the mill signatures intact, original wood beam ceilings, exposed brick walls, tall windows, and views that run from the Merrimack River to the city skyline. Open-concept layouts keep the historic shell feeling current, and many units carry the warm, earthy palette that suits the brick and timber.
Amenities lean toward everyday livability: a fitness center, resident club room, and media screening room, plus a renovated lobby. The building is pet friendly, and on-site management keeps things running. Parking is the one thing to plan around in this part of downtown, ask about options when you tour.
The setting is pure Lowell. You’re close to Boarding House Park’s summer concerts, the Lowell National Historical Park’s trolley tours and museums, and the cobblestone streets of the downtown historic district. UMass Lowell, Middlesex Community College, and the Tsongas Center are all a short distance or drive away.
