Lowell Massachusetts Information and Highlights
Lowell is a city in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, in the United States. With an estimated population of 108,861, it is the fourth-largest city in Massachusetts, after Boston, Worcester and Springfield and the second-largest in what the U.S. Census bureau defines as Boston's metropolitan area.
History
Founded in the 1820s as a planned manufacturing center for textiles, Lowell is located along the rapids of the Merrimack River, 25 miles northwest of Boston in what was once the farming community of East Chelmsford, Massachusetts. The so-called Boston Associates, including Nathan Appleton and Patrick Tracy Jackson of the Boston Manufacturing Company, named the new mill town after their visionary leader, Francis Cabot Lowell,[6] who had died five years before its 1823 incorporation. As Lowell's population grew, it acquired more land from neighboring towns and diversified into a full-fledged urban center. Many of the men who composed the labor force for constructing the canals and factories had immigrated from Ireland, escaping the poverty and Potato Famines of the 1830s and 1840s. By the 1850s, Lowell had the largest industrial complex in the United States.
Location
Lowell is located at the confluence of the Merrimack and Concord rivers. The Pawtucket Falls, a mile-long set of rapids with a total drop in elevation of 32 feet, ends where the two rivers meet. At the top of the falls is the Pawtucket Dam, designed to turn the upper Merrimack into a millpond, diverted through Lowell's extensive canal system.
The bordering towns (clockwise from north) are Dracut, Tewksbury, Billerica, Chelmsford and Tyngsborough. The border with Billerica is a point in the middle of the Concord River where Lowell and Billerica meet Tewksbury and Chelmsford.
The 10 communities designated part of the Lowell Metropolitan area by the 2000 U.S. Census are Billerica, Chelmsford, Dracut, Dunstable, Groton, Lowell, Pepperell, Tewksbury, Tyngsborough and Westford and Pelham, New Hampshire

Lowell, Massachusetts, gets 42 inches of rain per year. The U.S. average is 37. Snowfall is 50 inches. The average US city gets 25 inches of snow per year. The number of days with any measurable precipitation is 114.

What makes Susan Sells the best possible choice
when you want to sell your property in Andover?
Thank you so much. More than that, we could not have imagined selling the house would be so much work after 40 years nor could we have dreamt the process would go so smoothly with you on our side. It’s been a long journey (and a long winter) but you’re a very special person and that comes through with your work. You have a plan from early on and every step of the way so that we felt looked after and got the results we wanted; even better! Everything you did was with our interests and goals in mind and you know who to call whether it’s photographs, mopping the floors, or outstanding promotional pieces.

Susan delivered on 100% of what she promised during our initialinterview. Her knowledge of the current market conditions andno-nonsense, down to earth approach made her the clearchoice out of all the agents we met with.Her experience and creativity was evident in her marketing plan,staging of the house and MLS listing. They ultimately attracteddozens of prospective buyers, leading to a quick sale (less than1 week) at above list price to a couple that absolutely loved thehome.Susan also guided us through a family crisis during the sale (adebilitating medical condition suffered by my sister/half-owner),helping us to navigate around any obstacles in our path. I would not hesitate to recommend Susan and her team. Theyare a group of consummate professionals who go the extra mileto understand the needs of their clients and deliver upon theirpromises. We had a great sales experience and couldn't havebeen any more satisfied with the results.Thank you, Susan! Steve Tatarunis
We had previous experience with another broker that made us weary of going on the market again. Susan
listened to our needs and addressed them. We feel she provided us with service customized to meet our
particular circumstance and she sold our home in an astounding six days. What a relief it was to work with a
capable, consummate professional who cared about our home and our family.
Susan was patient and clear throughout marketing period. She protected our interests and made certain we
understood each aspect of the sales process.
Susan always responded to calls and emails immediately. She listened to our every concern, no matter how
trivial. Susan also guided us toward the best outcome for our investment.
The administrative staff, photographer, stager, other agents and all members of Susan's team were
supportive, helpful and informative. They assisted in putting our property in its best light and assured that
closing was a seamless and smooth process.
Susan Rochwarg is a superstar among her peers. I'm so proud of myself for choosing her to sell my home!!
