Cotton House Lofts
Cotton House Lofts
At 240 Jackson Street in downtown Lowell, Cotton House Lofts converts a 1900s cotton mill into some of the city’s most distinctive condo homes. Part of the Appleton Mills complex along the historic canal system, the building keeps its industrial soul intact: natural wood beams stretching from polished hardwood floors to high ceilings, exposed brick walls, and the oversized mill windows that define authentic loft living.
The roughly 30 units range from about 1,000 to 1,900 square feet with one or two bedrooms and 1.5 to 2 baths, many in two-level layouts that make the most of the vertical space. Kitchens feature granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and breakfast bars. Oversized windows flood the open floor plans with natural light, and in-unit laundry, recessed lighting, and modern updates keep the historic character comfortable.
Cotton House is made for buyers who want urban living with real history — artists, downtown professionals, and investors drawn to the Hamilton Canal District. You’re steps from the MBTA commuter rail, restaurants, galleries, and Lowell’s weekly farmers market, all in one of the most walkable pockets of the city.

Cotton House Lofts endures as one of Lowell’s most talked-about addresses because authentic mill conversions simply aren’t made anymore. The Appleton Mills heritage gives the building a weight and texture that buyers pay a premium for — exposed beams, brick, and those towering windows — while the practical side holds up too: secure elevator access, in-unit laundry, and condo fees that cover water, sewer, trash, and building insurance. Units here appeal equally to owner-occupants and investors, thanks to strong downtown rental demand and the building’s walk-to-everything position. For anyone who wants their home to feel like a genuine piece of Lowell’s industrial story, this is the building to tour first.
Living in downtown Lowell puts the city’s industrial heritage and its present-day energy side by side: the Lowell National Historical Park, museums, live theater, and the Merrimack River are all part of the neighborhood, with Boston reachable by commuter rail.
