Tewksbury, MAInc. 1637
Tewksbury is a suburban town along Route 38 and I-93, positioned between Lowell and the Route 128 corridor. The town developed primarily during the post-war suburban expansion, and the housing stock is predominantly single-family ranches, capes, and colonials from the 1950s through 1980s. Commercial corridors along Main Street and Route 38 bring retail and service businesses to the mix.
For property professionals, Tewksbury is a consistent, middle-market suburb with moderate assessed values and a housing stock that is relatively uniform in age and type. The town's position along I-93 provides good access to both the Lowell and Boston employment markets, and the commercial corridors add property diversity without creating the complexity of a more urban market.
