Why People Love Living in Newmarket

Aerial view of a small town with a white church with a tall steeple, red brick buildings, residential houses, parking lots, and a tree-lined background with a forest and blue sky.

Newmarket has a character all its own. Its historic mill buildings, walkable downtown, local restaurants, and setting along the Lamprey River give it a little more energy than your typical small New Hampshire town, while still feeling welcoming and connected.

People love living in Newmarket because so much is close by. You can grab coffee downtown, walk along the river, catch live music, or head out to nearby trails and conservation land without going far. Add in easy access to Durham, Exeter, Portsmouth, and the rest of the Seacoast, and it’s a great fit if you want small-town living with plenty happening around you.
