Overview

This property is currently occupied by a church, with the tenant operating on an at-will arrangement and paying $3,500 per month. It offers “many possibilities,” which is supported by its placement in MBTA zoning and the practical flexibility that can come with that designation.

The site is located in Lowell, Massachusetts, and sits directly across the street from the new courthouse. WalkScore is 98, indicating strong pedestrian accessibility, and the transitScore of 60 supports convenient access to public transportation.

For buyers, the current setup can support a hands-off approach by keeping the existing church tenant in place and collecting monthly rent. For parties seeking an alternative use, the MBTA zoning framework suggests the property may accommodate additional options, subject to applicable approvals and requirements. The combination of in-place occupancy, courthouse-adjacent positioning, and transit-friendly surroundings may appeal to operators looking for a flexible property in a highly walkable area.
