Andover, MA Homes for Sale

Andover runs on two engines: Phillips Academy, which gives the town center a college-town texture few suburbs have, and a downtown Main Street with real depth. Add the Haverhill line depot and the 93/495 interchanges and you get a town that works for Boston commuters and 495-belt tech families alike.

Space is what I sell here — half-acre-plus lots, substantial colonials, estate neighborhoods near the academy, and Harold Parker State Forest as the backyard for the south side. Downtown-adjacent condos and townhomes give downsizers a way to stay near Main Street when the big house stops making sense.

With the Andover schools and the town's overall polish, demand stays steady through cycles — corporate relocations alone keep a floor under it. Per square foot, Andover still prices below comparable homes inside 128; for buyers who can absorb the longer ride, I think it's one of the better trades north of Boston.
