East Lawrence
The arts district, bungalows, studios, and Lawrence's creative heart
East Lawrence is the city's creative core, turn-of-the-century cottages and bungalows beside the Warehouse Arts District, with a fierce neighborhood identity all its own.
East of Massachusetts Street down to the rail corridor, East Lawrence mixes small historic homes, artist studios, and the converted warehouses of the Arts District. The Burroughs Creek Trail runs its length, and institutions like the Lawrence Arts Center anchor a neighborhood that fought for and kept its working-class, creative soul.
Homes are generally modest in size and rich in character, front porches, original woodwork, gardens in place of lawns. Prices remain more attainable than west-side equivalents, which has made East Lawrence increasingly popular with first-time buyers who want personality and proximity to downtown over square footage.
