Tewksbury, Massachusetts, named after the town of the same name in England, was settled in 1637 and incorporated in 1734, offering hundreds of years of rich history. Tewksbury is ideally located for a commuter city, as it is only 19 miles North, Northwest of Boston, connected by major highways. This makes the morning or weekend drive hassle-free. With the luxuries of bustling Boston close at hand, Tewksbury can be a haven for rest and relaxation, as it is bordered by the Merrimack River to the north and encompasses the Shawsheen River to the south. The city is surrounded by Lowell, Dracut, Andover, Wilmington, and Billerica. The 2010 census puts the population at a comfortable 28,851 people, which allows for the option of socialization or privacy. While Tewksbury has a lengthy history, many homes are either updated or newly built. There is an abundance of beautiful ranch homes, as well as quaint and cozy cape-code styles. However, if it is the charms and furnishing of an older building you are in search of, properties that feature wood-burning stoves and hardwood floors are often available. If you are thinking about purchasing a newly built, conveniently renovated house, or charming home with history, sign up to attend an open house today and start your search for the perfect location.
