What surprised you most about Methuen Town?

Alexa Phillips Jun 26, 2025

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 9 years ago from Seattle and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Eastside. It's hit or miss for what you get.

Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in marketing. If you're in healthcare you might struggle.

People: Generally solid. It took about 6 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like Southern.

Definitely worth checking out..
