New Hampshire and Maine Homes and Condos

Ever been to Portsmouth, New Hampshire?  Those of us who live here and love it tend to think of it as "God's Country"!! 

Portsmouth NH is such a special place to call home!  We are right here on the Atlantic Ocean, our coastline is a mere 17 miles long, bordering Massachusetts to the south and Maine to the north. 

Portsmouth is right on the Piscataqua River, which is the border between New Hampshire and Maine.  This river has the 3rd fastest current in the world...practice up your boating skills for our river!!

We are approximately 45 minutes north of Boston, 45 minutes south of Portland, Maine, and about 45 minutes east of Manchester, New Hampshire.  We have great highways and commuter's routes here, a small airport, rail service, and the mountains for skiing, hiking, scenic driving, etc. are as close as 45 minutes away.  What a great location, in my opinion!

Portsmouth has been dubbed  "the restaurant capital of the Eastern Seaboard" because we have more restaurants per capita than other towns/cities.  And our restaurants here are really good.  Because we have so many, they all strive to be even better due to the competition.  We've got fancy restaurants to plenty of casual ones, from chains to many locally owned great spots for really neat treats.

The downtown area of Portsmouth is just as charming as it can be!   We've got grand historical homes open for touring, beautiful parks, little cafes from which to watch the world go by while enjoying a cup of coffee and awesome baked treats, and we have some really unique shops and boutiques.   And we have local theaters for plays & musicals, along with museums, too.
