Life in Lowell

I was born in Lowell, at St. John's Hospital, and I have watched this city reinvent itself without losing its character. The events calendar is a big part of that story: there is a richness to everyday life here that you cannot find at Lowell price points anywhere else near Boston.

Make a Day of It in Lowell

If you are coming into Lowell for this, build the day around it. Grab a coffee or a meal at a local spot, take in the neighborhood at street level, and notice the details that never show up in a listing photo: the upkeep, the energy, the way people take care of their corners of town. That street-level feel is what my buyers end up falling for.
