The ScoopThe Neighborhood Philosophy

Andover is where the suburbs meet the woods. Large lots (often 1+ acres), septic systems, and plenty of trees. It attracts people who want a massive yard and a 4-car garage but don't want to live on a farm.

AcreagePrivacyParks

The Septic Shift

A large portion of Andover is still on private septic systems, which mandates larger lot sizes. This 'Infrastructure Enforcement' keeps the density low and the trees high.

Finished basements are the norm here. A 2,000 sq ft footprint becomes a 3,800 sq ft home. Dollar for square foot, it's one of the best values in the metro.

Real Talk Warning
