Living in & buying/selling in Tewksbury, MA
About 19 miles north-northwest of Boston, with I-93 and I-495 both running through town.
Tewksbury, briefly
Tewksbury’s biggest asset is access. I-93 and I-495 both run through town, Lowell is next door, and Boston is about 19 miles away. The Merrimack River forms part of its northern boundary and the Shawsheen River runs through its southern end.
For buyers commuting by car in almost any direction — Boston, the 495 belt or Southern New Hampshire — it is one of the most convenient towns in the area.
Tewksbury, this week
Live from public sources and refreshed every week. When a town has no separate series, the panel shows county figures and says so.
What the housing stock looks like
Tewksbury is mostly single-family: capes, ranches, split-levels and colonials from the post-war decades, newer colonials, and condominium and townhouse communities.
Much of the housing is on established mid-size lots. We confirm sewer or septic on each home before an offer, since Massachusetts generally requires a Title 5 inspection at sale when a home has a septic system.
