Lawrence used to be a place where people didn’t even want to step foot in, but lately there has been a lot of housing developments happening. It helps too when the commuter rail is there and the city is small/walkable, but the cost is also unfortunately a contributing factor because it’s so small and a lot of people in-state/ immigrants are coming in pretty fast. Even tho it’s expensive, it’s still pretty cheap compared to living in Boston for a studio/ 1BR.
There’s just not enough room here unless you can afford the ridiculous high cost of housing by yourself or renting a room.
