The Town of Lawrence Massachusetts

Lawrence is a city in Essex County, Massachusetts, on the Merrimack River. Local manufacturing products include electronic equipment, textiles, footwear, paper products, computers and foodstuffs. Lawrence was the residence of Robert Frost during the poet’s early school years. His first essays and poems were published in the Lawrence High School Bulletin.

Europeans first settled the Haverhill area in 1640, with colonists from Newbury following the Merrimack River in from the coast. Aside from the Merrimack River, other water features include the Spicket and Shawsheen rivers. The highest point in Lawrence is the top of Tower Hill in the city’s northwest corner. Den Rock Park is a wooded conservation district, offering recreation for nature lovers and rock climbers alike.

Lawrence lies along Interstate 495, which passes through the eastern portion of the city. There are three exits entirely within the city, though two more provide access from just outside the city limits. The town is also served by Route 28 passing from south to north through the city, and Route 110, which passes from east to west. Route 114 also has its western terminus at Route 28 at the Merrimack River. Lawrence is the site of four road crossings and a railroad crossing over the Merrimack, including the O’Leary Bridge (Route 28), a railroad bridge, the Casey Bridge, the Duck Bridge and the double-decked O’Reilly Bridge.

The Who - J. Butler Property Management (JBPM), LLC. is a family owned and operated Massachusetts based property management company specializing in the five areas of property management described above. JBPM evolved from its parent company, Andover Building & Development Corporation, the first in the family of companies to be focused primarily on designing and constructing luxury residential homes in Andover, Massachusetts.

Over the years, as we have continued to build luxury homes, we have gradually been acquiring properties built by others.

Now with more than 400 diverse properties under management in our small property division including apartment buildings, condominium complexes and commercial properties, we are proud to be one of the premier property management companies serving the Boston area.

Whether it happens to be your primary residence or 50-unit apartment building, we all form attachments and care deeply about the property we own. At JBPM we understand this and make a special effort to extend ourselves, to treat each and every property “as if it were our own.” Our combination of old-school family values, integrity, honesty and hard work, together with our cutting edge technology, enables us to provide you with an unparalleled level of service.
