When first moving to Washington, D.C., I didn't know many people outside of the office. InterNations has changed that with some exciting events.
Living in Lowell
Lowell is situated in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA and has a population of around 110,000. The city is considered to be the birthplace of the industrial revolution in the US, a fact reflected in its nickname of “The Mill City”. It is a city proud of its history and this heritage is preserved in attractions like the American Textile History Museum and the Lowell National Historical Park. Expats living in Lowell will find the city divided into eight neighborhoods, each with its own character. The Highland district, for example, is the most populous, housing around a quarter of the city’s residents. Belvidere Hill is a historic district and the Pawtucketville area around the University of Massachusetts was once home to Jack Kerouac. There is a huge variety of accommodation available and getting some inside information from other expats living in Lowell at InterNations is a great way to help decide which is best for you.

Moving to Lowell
Expats moving to Lowell can arrive on Interstate 495 and the city is well connected to a number of major trunk routes. It is well served by the Lowell Rail line of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. Domestic flights are available from Manchester-Boston Regional Airport and international connections are only 33 miles away at Boston Logan International Airport. The new expat in Lowell will find a leafy and attractive city, with plenty of good housing and an excellent local education system, all the way from pre-school to the local campus of the University of Massachusetts and Middlesex Community College. Expatriates moving to Lowell can also look forward to an extremely active local cultural scene. The international online community at InterNations is the ideal way to make connections with other expats in Lowell, learn about the city and perhaps make some new friends.
