About Downtown

Methuen

Downtown Methuen, located between the Merrimack River and Forest Lake, is a historic and walkable Methuen neighborhood with a mill-era streetscape and a civic-center feel. The character concentrates around the Broadway and Pleasant Street junction, where brick storefronts, corner eateries, and small-service shops keep the sidewalks active. The Methuen Memorial Music Hall anchors local culture with its landmark architecture and concert calendar. The Loop Shopping Center adds a modern retail corridor just off the core. Triple-deckers and compact side streets frame a practical, on-foot routine near City Hall and the library.
