North Andover, MAInc. 1644
North Andover separated from Andover in 1855 and developed its own identity as a community with both industrial and agricultural roots. The Stevens Estate and the old Machine Shop Village reflect the town's manufacturing heritage, while the farms and open spaces in the northern sections preserve its rural character. The town center — a well-defined New England village green — anchors a housing stock that ranges from historic homes near the common to modern subdivisions in the outlying neighborhoods.
Lake Cochichewick, the town's primary water supply, creates waterfront properties and environmental constraints in the center of town. The Merrimack River forms the northern boundary, bringing flood zone considerations for properties near the water. For property professionals, North Andover offers a cross-section of the Merrimack Valley market — historic village homes, suburban development, and rural parcels — with assessed values and building conditions that vary accordingly.
