The leading cities of Nashua, Salem, and Manchester combine with the capital city of Concord to provide the lion’s share of urban amenities in New Hampshire. Residents of southern Maine enjoy access to these attractions as well as those in Portland and Portsmouth. Brattleboro, famous as one of the nation’s leading small-town art communities, anchors the Windham County region in South Vermont. Throughout this tri-state region, newcomers will discover a pleasing selection of homes that are set in environments from urban to rural that offer diverse architectural styles, sizes, and price ranges. Stunning New England designs or historic homes in welcoming villages harmonize with fine condominiums, attractive townhouses, and master-planned planned communities. In some cases, entire villages are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, creating postcard perfect New England images around the four seasons.

A true paradise for outdoor enthusiasts and naturalists, New England offers a wealth of natural beauty.

Symphony, opera, dance, theatre, and musical concerts fill the calendar with events that showcase local and national talent. This beautiful region with its roots in a proud past and its sights set on a bright future, is a premier choice for those considering the New England lifestyle.
