So, is Andover a nice place to live? Yes, if you have the budget. It’s safe, beautiful, and smart. It’s like living in a well-edited magazine.
But it’s not for everyone. It lacks that gritty, spontaneous energy of a big city. Friday night might mean a nice dinner at 7 PM, followed by a walk and a 9 PM bedtime. And you’ll love it—or you’ll feel a bit stifled.
My advice? Visit on a sunny Saturday. Go to the farmers market. Buy a scone. If you feel a warm, fuzzy, “I should own a wicker basket” feeling, move in. If you feel bored? Maybe keep looking. Cheers.
