Commute wise you’ll find yourself 5 minutes or less from 495 (with multiple options to enter/exit the highway), 7 minutes to 93 and a minute from rt 114. Less than 15 minutes to tax free shopping in New Hampshire. One minute from Pollo Centro. One of the best chicken restaurants in Lawrence. Exeter st is a working class neighborhood. It’s not the best part of Lawrence and it’s not the worst. You’ll be sandwich between the 24/7 convenience store and the housing projects. The convenience store is busy one and might see people walking to and from it at all times of the day. The intersection of Exeter and 114 does see it’s fair share of accidents. Depending on the day you might see Lawrence PD doing red light/ crosswalk enforcement on or near the intersection.

Go community bank/ credit union vs large banks. They may not have the sexiest looking website/ app but tend to have the best local ppl in banking. Since the deposits are local they tend to give loans in the community they serve and give back to local charities. Not all Community banks / credit unions are equal. Do a little research. If avoiding fees is your priority, ask to see their schedule of fees and account disclosures. See/ask what are ways to avoid fees. Prior to opening an account. If giving back to community is your thing look and see if the community bank/ credit union is giving back to your community or favorite local charity. If how they treat employees is your thing check and see industry employee surveys like Boston Globe Top places to work.
