Haverhill MA around Arlington Street (Windsor: violent crime, homes, neighborhood)

[jaj67]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knew how the neighborhood was around Arlington Street in Haverhill. Basically, more toward the Mill St side of Arlington.

Thanks for any help.

I grew up in Haverhill - and actually my first address was on Windsor St. just off Arlington St. near Mill St.

For much of the 70s and 80s Arlington St. was a very run-down neighborhood. Lots of drug activity and abject poverty. It got substantially nicer once you got past Highland Ave. (the area you mention). I believe it is much the same now. Upper Arlington St. has lots of the old Victorian era homes from the late 1800s which I image are quite pricey.

I would say that if you had to pick an area, Arlington St. from Highland Ave. to Mill St. is probably the better choice.

Back in the 80's and early to mid 90s this area was actaully one of the most dangerous places! it is funny how good of a place it is now. But right around the corner it gets scummy. Howard st., warren st, lincoln st, 4-9th ave,fountain st. ect are the worst parts of haverhill with a lot of theft, not so much violent crimes but a lot of theft! Your area is absolutley fine though
