North Common is a charming Lawrence neighborhood centered on a park with the same name. The neighborhood stretches from the Merrimack River north to the Spicket River and Marion Avenue. North Common also encompasses the North Canal Island, a characterful slice of Lawrence that’s home to a local brewery and Pemberton Park. This neighborhood is filled with historic architecture and mature trees, with quiet roads and busy sidewalks. With so many parks and green spaces in a walkable layout, it’s easy to head west to Broadway and get a bite to eat, or east towards Essex Street, just off the park. Here you’ll find bars and nightlife spots that add plenty of life to the neighborhood.
North Common’s rental options come in the form of dazzling apartments in historic buildings, including lofts with floor-to-ceiling windows and amazing views. There are historic homes too, some divided into apartments and others kept in their original form as single-family houses.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
