Set in Strafford County, it offers quick connections to job hubs in Dover, Rochester, and Durham, while keeping a peaceful pace at home.

Outdoors, weekends often start at Bow Lake for paddling, fishing, or a beach day, with nearby trail systems along the Isinglass River and Parker Mountain offering year-round hikes. For sweeping views and a classic fire-tower climb, locals point to Blue Job Mountain State Forest, a favorite for sunrise treks and fall foliage.
