Highlands
What's it like to live in Highlands?
Academic energy surrounds renters in Highlands, where proximity to UMass Lowell creates a vibrant atmosphere in this historic mill city. Converted industrial buildings feature exposed brick walls and oversized windows flooding apartments with natural light. Though winter brings serious snow requiring management strategies, most rental properties include provisions for snow removal. The neighborhood's walking access to both campus facilities and downtown dining creates car-optional living rare in smaller New England cities. The nearby Merrimack River provides recreational opportunities from kayaking to cycling along riverfront trails.
