Acre is where Lowell’s past and present meet, with brick mill buildings, classic rowhouses, and the North Common framing everyday life along the Merrimack. Living here puts you close to Lowell’s cultural core: explore working canals and textile history at the Lowell National Historical Park, catch concerts and hockey at the Tsongas Center, and dip into indie film, markets, and pop-ups at Mill No. 5. Creativity spills beyond the neighborhood at Western Avenue Studios & Lofts, one of New England’s largest artist communities. The University of Massachusetts Lowell is minutes away, energizing the area with research, athletics, and public programs, while Downtown dining and riverfront paths are an easy stroll.
Families appreciate access to Lowell Public Schools, with local elementary options and citywide programs, plus youth enrichment at the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Lowell. Daily conveniences include neighborhood markets, global eateries, and bus connections, with nearby Pawtucketville and the rest of Middlesex County within quick reach. Weekends might mean a morning at the farmers market, an afternoon history walk, and a game night by the river—Acre makes it easy to build a full routine without leaving the city.
