24 Merrimack Apartments
24 Merrimack Apartments
Set at 24 Merrimack Street in the heart of historic downtown Lowell, 24 Merrimack Apartments brings rental living with genuine character to one of the city’s most walkable blocks. The building itself dates to 1906 and was renovated in 2016, giving residents the best of both eras: century-old downtown bones paired with modern interiors designed for today’s renters.
The community offers one- and two-bedroom floor plans, with many units arranged around the building’s six stories. Residents live steps from downtown Lowell’s shops, cafes, restaurants, and entertainment, and the commuter rail into Boston is an easy walk away — a layout that suits professionals, UMass Lowell students, and anyone who wants a true downtown lifestyle without driving for every errand.
Managed by Wingate Companies, the building runs as a smoke-free, pet-friendly community, an uncommon combination in older downtown stock. Unit sizes generally range from around 700 to over 1,000 square feet depending on floor plan, and residents have access to a fitness center plus practical building perks like a package room.

One of 24 Merrimack’s strongest selling points is the way it balances historic character with everyday practicality. The 2016 renovation brought modern systems and finishes into a building that has anchored this corner of downtown for over a century, and the six-story scale keeps it feeling like a community rather than an anonymous complex. Pet owners appreciate that the building welcomes animals, and the package room takes the worry out of online deliveries. Because units range from efficient one-bedrooms to larger two-bedroom layouts, the building works for a wide range of renters — from graduate students to young professionals to couples who want downtown convenience without a car-dependent lifestyle.
Living in downtown Lowell means the Merrimack River, Lowell Memorial Auditorium, Middlesex Community College, and UMass Lowell are all part of the daily landscape, with the commuter rail offering a direct ride into Boston’s North Station. 24 Merrimack puts all of that within a few blocks.
