What to Consider About Assisted Living in North Andover
North Andover, Massachusetts, is a town in Essex County, located in the northeastern part of Massachusetts, about 28 miles outside Boston, the state capital. There are just over 31,000 people living in North Andover, and of 31,013 residents, 14.5 percent are age 65 or over.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in North Andover
- North Andover has a comfortable year-round climate for most of the year, especially in the spring, summer and fall. The average high in July is around 82 degrees, and there are an average of 201 sunny days a year. Winters can be challenging in this area: North Andover gets an average of 54 inches of snow each year and the average January low is around 15 degrees. Seniors may want to keep this in mind if they find cold winters challenging.
- Seniors can feel quite safe living in North Andover, as both property and violent crime are lower than state and national averages. On a scale of one to 100, with one being low crime and 100 being high crime, North Andover sits at 16.5 for violent crime and 19.9 for property crime. Massachusetts's averages for violent and property crime are well above these levels at 31.6 for violent crime and 21.1 for property crime.
- Living in North Andover is more expensive than nearby areas, including Massachusetts as whole. On a cost of living index where the national average is 100, the state average for Massachusetts is 139. North Andover is 153 on this scale, with housing being the biggest factor affecting cost of living differences.
- The Merrimack Valley Regional Transit Authority (MVRTA) provides public transportation to North Andover and Merrimack Valley residents with bus service to nearby Lawrence, Boston, Haverhill and Amesbury. They offer reduced fares for seniors; passengers age 60 and over pay only 60 cents per ride, and 50 cents if they have a Charlie Card.
- The North Andover area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Lawrence General Hospital in nearby Lawrence and Mass General Hospital in Boston, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- Massachusetts is considered to be moderately tax-friendly towards retirees. Income from a 401k, IRA or private pension fund are taxed at the state rate of 5.1 percent. However, income from Social Security or a public pension fund are fully tax exempt.
