We are considering a move to NA and will be commuting to Lynn- need to be there at 9am. How is traffic at that time? Any idea how long to allow for travel?

It sucks plain and simple. This is a one to two lane road with tons of traffic, lights etc and it only get worse the closer you get to lynn.

If you work in Lynn, i would consider living in the salem and surrounding towns area.

Salem and North Andover are quite different, so if the move is for the job, but want a similar suburban vibe to NA, look at Danvers. Much closer to Lynn, good neighborhoods, shopping. Proximity to Rte 1, 95, 114, 128. Housing prices probably in line with North Andover.

I routinely travel 114 from Rte 495 at the North Andover/Lawrence line to Rte 1. It's probably less than ten miles and I NEVER can do it in less than a half hour because of the lights, and the numbnuts I'm driving behind, talking on her cell phone. At that point (Rte 1) you're still probably a good half hour to downtown Lynn.
