About

Highlands

Highlands, located between Downtown Lowell and the Chelmsford line, is a residential and civic Lowell neighborhood with leafy side streets and a hilltop feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Chelmsford Street and Westford Street corridor, where corner markets, longtime eateries, and everyday services keep the sidewalks active. Early-20th-century triple-deckers and compact single-family homes mix with brick institutional buildings and small parks. The Lowell Cemetery’s winding lanes and mature trees add a quiet, historic counterpoint to busier arterials. Local staples like Suppa’s Pizza, the Lowell Cemetery, and the Lowell Memorial Auditorium help define the area’s routines and landmarks. Routes toward the river and downtown connect the neighborhood to Lowell’s mill-city streetscape without changing its calmer cadence.

TMF

Traditional Neighborhood Multi-Family District

Traditional Neighborhood Residential Districts are designed to preserve, promote, and enhance the pedestrian-scale character of Lowellâ€™s historic residential neighborhoods. All three encourage moderately-sized lots and prohibit large-scale developments. The TSF district emphasizes single-family homes, the TTF district also allows two-family homes, while the TMF also allows three-family homes and up to 6-unit multi-family developments by special permit. To encourage neighborhood stability and owner-occupancy, special provisions are provided for single-family developments in the TTF and TMF zones.
