Buying a Condo at Canal Place 3 in Lowell, MA: What to Know

Canal Place 3 is the value play at 200 Market Street, and a lot of Lowell buyers figure that out fast. The largest of the three condominium associations at the address, it holds 119 homes inside a 1908 mill converted to condominiums in 2004. The format is single level flats in an eight story elevator building: every room on one floor, mill character throughout, and a condo fee that bundles most of your monthly utilities into one payment. For a first home, a downsize, or an investment, this association deserves a close look.

What You Get in a Canal Place 3 Home

The homes run one and two bedrooms, commonly about 510 to 990 square feet, with open layouts, large mill windows, wide plank and hardwood flooring in many units, and in unit laundry. Recent sales show the entry point clearly: one bedroom homes have closed at $239,900, $240,000, and $247,000, and two bedroom homes have closed up into the low $300,000s. Fee coverage here typically includes heat, hot water, water, sewer, master insurance, and air conditioning, so compare the full monthly cost, not just the price. The detailed building profile is on our Canal Place 3 page.

Why the Location Works

Canal Place 3 stands over the Pawtucket Canal in the Hamilton Canal District, inside Lowell’s historic mill landscape. Merrimack Repertory Theatre, the Tsongas Center, LeLacheur Park, Boarding House Park concerts, and the Lowell Folk Festival every July are all part of the neighborhood. Middlesex Community College is right downtown, UMass Lowell is close by, and the Lowell commuter rail station is a short distance away for the Boston run. Garage parking at the building takes care of the car, which not every downtown address can say.
