Welcome to North Andover

Located just 30 miles from Boston and home to Merrimack College and the prestigious Brooks School, North Andover is a thriving town with a small-town feeling. Stately Colonials, brick sidewalks, and endless fieldstone walls give it old-world charm.

An active community, great location, and good schools make it an ideal town for families and young professionals. From nature trails and conservation land to the North Andover Youth Center, ponds, playgrounds, beautiful Lake Cochichewick, and local farms all provide endless hours of entertainment for its residents.

Old North Andover Common is host to a variety of activities including the annual Sheep Shearing Festival and North Andover’s Fall Festival. In the summer, residents enjoy water activities at Stevens Pond, Delano Pond, and Stearns Pond, an outdoor concert series on the common, or visiting the gardens at The Stevens-Coolidge Place.

An active restaurant and retail scene are just two more reasons why North Andover continues to be one of the most desirable towns in greater Boston and has been named one of the nation’s best places to live.
