Planning Board Meeting

Andover, MA blends a classic New England town center with a calm residential feel, where sidewalks, stone walls, and mature trees frame everyday errands and evening walks. The downtown area along Main Street offers cafés, local shops, and dining, and it’s easy to reach green space like the Shawsheen River trails for a quick reset. With Phillips Academy and nearby cultural events, the community often feels active without being hectic.

For commuting, Andover sits close to I-93 and Route 28, and the MBTA commuter rail makes Boston access manageable for many schedules. Neighborhoods range from established single-family streets to townhomes, condos, and a selection of rental communities, giving buyers, sellers, and renters different ways to fit into town life. On many days you’ll notice brisk mornings and occasional damp pavement, but the town remains walkable and welcoming, with parks, recreation fields, and everyday services close at hand.
