About East

Methuen

East Methuen, located between the Merrimack River and the Lawrence line, is a residential and riverside Methuen neighborhood with mill-era street grids and wooded pockets. Character concentrates around the Route 110 corridor near the Methuen–Lawrence bridge, where corner markets, takeout counters, and auto shops set a steady, working-day rhythm. The Loop Shopping Center serves as a practical retail anchor, while nearby Nevins Memorial Library and Methuen Memorial Music Hall add civic and cultural weight. Housing leans toward classic New England colonials, capes, and compact multifamily homes with deep setbacks. River views and small parks shape a walk-and-pause pace along the water. Commuter routes thread toward I-93 and the Merrimack Valley.
