There’s
no place like home
According
to the 2000 U.S. Census, 22,976 of Haverhill’s
23,737 housing units were occupied, for an enviable occupancy
rate of 96.8
percent. There were 13,823 owner occupied units (60.2%) and 9,153
renter-occupied units (39.8%).
The city offers
a wide range of housing from apartments and starter homes all the
way to upscale residences.
There are options in rural,
suburban and urban settings.
The real estate
boom that has affected many areas of the country, including the
northeast, has had a positive
impact on local homeowners.
Purchasing property in Haverhill has proven to be a sound investment.
Residents who bought their homes just six years ago have seen
values more than double. Yet, with all it has to offer, Haverhill
continues
to be an affordable choice for buyers when compared to surrounding
communities and the state as a whole.
