Methuen balances river-town heritage with everyday convenience, set in the Merrimack Valley’s green spaces and cross-border commerce. In Essex County and minutes from Lawrence, Andover, and Haverhill, it offers a comfortable launch point for work, school, and weekend adventures.
Culture here runs deep. The celebrated Methuen Memorial Music Hall hosts world-class organ concerts in a soaring, gilded setting, while the Nevins Memorial Library anchors community life with programs for all ages. Outdoor time is easy to find on the Methuen Rail Trail, a smooth route for walkers, runners, cyclists, and pups that links neighborhoods to nature and neighboring towns.

Families appreciate the strong local school community. Methuen Public Schools offers a comprehensive K–12 pathway with robust arts, athletics, and career-focused opportunities, and active parent involvement.
