Older Lowell homes next to the city’s larger green spaces
The Lower Belvidere neighborhood lies alongside the Concord River’s eastern shore and offers historic homes and some of Lowell's largest green spaces. The neighborhood's streets wrap around expanses of green space, allowing many of the community's multifamily homes and condos to view the picturesque greenery. The southern and northern ends of the neighborhood are flushed with shopping and dining, so many residents do not need to venture downtown for daily necessities. Those who wish to head downtown or commute to Boston will find it a simple feat with major highways like Interstates 495 and 93 nearby, as well as multiple commuter rail stations. Lower Belvidere offers a blend that combines the splendor of historic converted homes and green spaces with greater connectivity to Lowell’s bustling downtown.
