I’ve lived in Tewksbury for most of my life. I’m 45. I lived in NH for only 6 years Tewksbury the rest. It has the same exact issues as any suburb. Schools are decent. Not bad, not great. My kids have been in school system here since preschool. I don’t sing it’s praises but I don’t have any major complaints either.

Yes it has some crap bag people in it. There is no town that doesn’t. Biggest issue is 495 passes Tewksbury to make it easy for Lawrence and Lowell drug drop offs. However, Tewksbury PD is absolutely fantastic. They don’t mess around and there are always drug busts.

House prices suck, taxes suck. But there are no towns in Merrimack valley that are “cheap”. If you want cheap go to northern Maine.

Traffic sucks and will get worse. Treehouse brewery will be opening on rt 38 in April. I can only imagine what kind of traffic jams that will cause. On any weekday going from Woburn through Wilmington to Tewksbury on rt 38 can be unbearable.

Everyone that I am around from the town are usually really good people. Like I said, of course there are crap bag people. There is no avoiding it. If my work wasn’t located 10 minutes away and my kids weren’t still in school I would move. But not because Tewksbury sucks. I just want more land and privacy.
