The North End, located between the Merrimack River and the Lawrence line, is a residential and commuter-friendly Methuen neighborhood with river-edge scenery and a patchwork of wooded streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Route 113 corridor near the I-93 ramps, where auto shops, corner takeout counters, and small service storefronts set a practical, on-the-go tone. Housing leans toward mid-century capes and ranches mixed with newer subdivisions, with backyards that meet tree lines. River views and pocket green spaces shape a quieter rhythm away from the main road. Daily errands often orbit nearby plazas rather than a single main street.
