There is nothing special about this place. I have lived here for over two years and I am not planning to renew anymore. There are some really nice mills around in Lowell. I am planning to move out of Lowell, since it is not a safe city to live. Don't fool yourself just check FBI data base for the crimes around Lowell.
If you are really desperate to live in Lowell, defintely look at other mills such as Boot Mills, Loft 7, and etc. You wouldn't find any of them looking any worse than Mass Mills.
