About Ward
Hill
Ward Hill, located between Bradford and Downtown Haverhill, is a residential and hillside Haverhill neighborhood with wooded slopes and broad Merrimack Valley views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Ward Hill Reservation trailheads, where parking pull-offs and path entrances set a weekend rhythm. Streets climb past mid-century ranches and older capes, with stone walls and pockets of conservation land shaping the edges. The hilltop geography brings a quieter, tucked-away feel while still tying into the city’s river corridor. Community pillars nearby include the Haverhill Farmers’ Market, the Haverhill Public Library, and the Haverhill Historical Society.
