The city of Dracut is settled on the Massachusetts-New Hampshire state line to the north and the Merrimack River to the south. This riverfront suburb offers a quaint, peaceful atmosphere with a park-like environment that you’re sure to enjoy.
Though the residential streets of Dracut are calm, once you take a leap over the Merrimack River, you’ll be in Downtown Lowell where you’ll discover historic museums, galleries, restaurants, shops, and more! Situated 32 miles northwest of Boston, Dracut is far enough from the hustle and bustle of urban living while still being in easy driving distance. Directly north of the University of Massachusetts Lowell, the city has a youthful vibe that comes from this popular university just minutes from your potential new home.
To the east, Dracut shares a portion of national state forest with its neighboring cities of Lowell and Tyngsborough. Residents of these areas have access to this beautifully vast woodland with miles of hiking trails and fishing ponds. If you’re interested in practicing your swing, Four Oaks Country Club offers a well-manicured course in the heart of Merrimack Valley!

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
