Located in the northwest section of Middlesex County, the town of Tyngsboro is a small residential community divided by the Merrimack River and dotted with numerous streams, lakes and great ponds. The towns of Dunstable, Groton, Westford, Chelmsford and Dracut are among its bordering neighbors, as well as the city of Lowell and the state of New Hampshire.

Tyngsboro has long been recognized as the "gateway" to the White Mountains while conveniently located only thirty minutes form Boston along the Route 3 corridor. This strategic position in the Merrimack Valley has enabled Tyngsboro to enjoy a tremendous burst in residential construction while retaining its small town, rural charm.

Founded in 1675 by Colonel Jonathan Tyng, Tyngsboro had a difficult settlement period consisting of a series of small, but bloody, skirmishes with the local Indian tribes. In fact, several colonial era homes in town still have emergency passageways used during these attacks; Tyngsboro was incorporated as a town in 1809.

The town is rich with outdoor and recreational opportunities, including boating, fresh water fishing, golf, hiking, horseback riding, hunting, picnicking, snowmobiling, ice skating and cross country skiing. All of these activities can be enjoyed on the 1,040 acres of the Lowell-Dracut-Tyngsboro State Forest. Other points of interest include Vesper Country Club, Tyngsboro Country Club and a number of fine restaurants.

The Tyngsboro of present day is a growing community boasting a new Junior-Senior High School, and a new police station, town hall, library and a progressive capital plan. These positive developments epitomize the town's desire to offer its residents the municipal services of a larger community with all the charm and flair of a small New England town.

The real estate market is comprised primarily of single-family homes of a wide variety of styles and prices. The potential of the Merrimack River Valley led to the settlement of the area near Pawtucket Falls by Native Americans.

Exploring historic homes, taking part in historic hometown festivals, catching a theatre or dance performance are exciting adventures. Year-round recreation is also possible especially on the 1,000 acres of Lowell-Dracut-Tyngsborough State Forest, where six miles of trails provide ample opportunity for jogging, walking, backpacking, horseback riding and cross-country skiing. New England's seacoast and mountains are also within an hour's drive.

Tyngsboro's neighborhoods are a wonderful blend of old and new real estate in a variety of styles including Victorian, colonial, Cape Cod and ranch. Homes on the river, bungalows, homes with split foyers and multi-level properties are also popular. In addition to an abundant selection of single-family homes for sale, two- and three-family townhouses are widely available.

Tyngsboro is a paradise for anyone interested in history, agriculture, peaceful nights and serene days. Come and see what Tyngsboro can offer you.
