Many of Downtown Lowell’s former mill factories are now home to modern office spaces, apartments, boutiques, and restaurants. Downtown’s Middle Street is a quiet, brick-paved roadway featuring numerous places to dine. The Old Court Irish Pub is an excellent spot for a pint and traditional Irish cuisine.
The Merrimack River, Boarding House Park, and the Eastern Canal are all in walking distance of Downtown Lowell apartments. The neighborhood is home to Middlesex Community College and the University of Massachusetts’s athletic and research facilities. This area is thriving with museums, art studios, and nightlife at the Blue Shamrock.
