Downtown Lowell, located between the Merrimack River and the Lowell National Historical Park canal system, is a historic and walkable Lowell neighborhood with brick mill architecture and a working waterfront feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Merrimack Street near Central Plaza, where indie restaurants, coffee counters, galleries, and late-night marquees cluster under old mill-era facades. The Lowell Memorial Auditorium anchors big-event nights, while the Whistler House Museum of Art adds a quieter cultural cadence. Cobblestone-like side streets and converted mill buildings shape a streetscape of lofts, studios, and storefronts. Canal walks and pocket parks thread between bridges, murals, and industrial relics. A strong calendar of festivals and performances keeps sidewalks active from day to night.

Very nice 3-Family home across from the Owl Diner, and only about 500 yards away from the new courthouse. This property is well kept, zoned UMU, and would be great for an owner occupant, rental property and/or potential for offices. Come take a look.
