A peaceful Haverhill community by the Merrimack River

Situated on the western banks of the Merrimack, East Broadway is a riverfront neighborhood retreat in the town of Haverhill. While most homes sit on the community’s namesake street, a quiet, secluded country road along the water, East Broadway is still relatively close to Haverhill's downtown, retail areas and commuter rail station. The neighborhood also has many green spaces, including the Meadow Brook Conservation Area and the Millvale Reservoir. “You can find a bit of everything here,” says Alex Eberhardt, who is the President and CEO of the Greater Haverhill Chamber of Commerce.

Residential homes along East Broadway

Sitting on winding country roads, single-family homes in East Broadway were primarily built in the latter half of the 1900s. These residential properties, many of which are tucked behind dense and mature trees, are often spread apart and have spacious yards. The median lot size is around 1.5 acres. Common architectural styles include Cape Cods, Colonial Revivals, bi-levels and traditional homes with gabled roofs. While the average home size is around 1,500 to 2,500 square feet and usually lists between $600,000 to $1 million, sprawling waterfront properties with private boat docks may list up to $1.5 million. “There’s a handful of homes along the river that are really exquisite,” says Stacey Caruso, a local Realtor at Coldwell Banker Realty with 13 years of experience. ”We have some million-dollar homes there, which is not typical for Haverhill.” Homeowners who have properties in flood zones may be required to purchase flood insurance.

Shopping and dining around downtown Haverhill

Many people go to Haverhill’s downtown area for shopping and dining. “This is a huge foodie town with a vibrant restaurant scene,” Eberhardt says. Popular restaurants include Butch's Uptown, a family-run eatery known for its steak and pasta entrees. The Peddler’s Daughter is an Irish pub with patio seating and live music. For riverfront dining, BOSA, a newcomer to town, opened earlier this year and is housed in The Heights Building. Offering views of the Merrimack River, this concept restaurant serves founder Sal’s signature pizza and seafood dishes in coastal Italian style. Sitting between Renaissance Golf Club and Riverside Park, Azul serves classic Mexican fare with margaritas and patio seating. Family-operated since 1820, Kimball Farm practices sustainable farming techniques and sells grass-fed beef, pork and eggs to locals. Market Basket is at Rivers Edge Plaza, and Target, which is still in town, is about 7 miles away.

Navigating into Boston

While the community is primarily car-dependent, there is an amtrak and a commuter rail station in Haverhill. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s Haverhill Line takes commuters directly to Boston’s city center, and the Merrimack Valley Regional Transit Authority has bus stops throughout Haverhill for access across Northeast Massachusetts. However, the current MBTA station is under construction until 2025, and people can either take the Amtrak or take the shuttle to Bradford for the commuter rail to access the capital city. Interstate 495 runs through Haverhill for easy highway access, while Boston Logan International Airport and downtown Boston are about 35 and 40 miles away, respectively, via Interstate 95. East Broadway has a CAP Index crime score of 1 out of 10, which is lower than the national average of 4. The Holy Family Hospital – Haverhill is about 2 miles south.
