Verified traveler

I was born + raised in Lowell. It has changed SO MUCH. Overcrowded, no where to park, difficult to get around residential streets due to people parking cars on both sides of the streets + on the sidewalks. Very sad. Very uncomfortable!

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

It’s trying- growth of the colleges and having the national park are helping it upscale a bit.
