City - Lawrence

Proud of its historic moniker “The Immigrant City,” Lawrence has long been one of the most diverse communities in Massachusetts. Dozens of city parks offer plenty of space for outdoor activities, and the 3.5-mile Spicket River Greenway gives folks a scenic route for walking, running, and biking through several riverfront parks and neighborhoods.

Lawrence is also known for being the hometown of great American poet Robert Frost, and the Robert Frost Foundation works tirelessly to promote his legacy in the local school system. Lawrence’s position near I-93 puts Boston less than an hour’s drive away from your apartment. MBTA service also connects Lawrence to Boston by rail.
