Wilmington, Massachusetts is a pleasant, well‑located New England suburb of about 23,000 with Silver Lake, local parks and a compact town center that make multi‑week stays comfortable and easy to unwind in.
Only about 15 miles north of Boston with a Wilmington commuter‑rail stop for easy day trips, and roughly 10–11 miles from Lowell for additional dining, shopping and historic sites, you get big‑city options within reach while staying in a quieter, walkable base.
