Andover is a New England town where 380 years of history and modern character sit side by side, about 25 miles north of Boston. The downtown along Main Street draws residents for daily errands and evening meals, with red brick buildings, cobblestone walkways, independent bookstores, coffee shops, and boutiques all within easy reach on foot. Beyond the commercial center, the town opens up into trails, conservation land, and green space that make outdoor living a genuine part of daily life.
The rental landscape includes a range of options, from traditional New England-style townhomes and garden-style apartments to more contemporary builds. Housing tends toward mid-rise and smaller-scale architecture rather than high-rise towers, reflecting the town's suburban character.
Major employers including Raytheon, Philips Healthcare, and Pfizer keep a strong employment base locally, while Merrimack College on the town's eastern side adds academic energy.
