About Newmarket

Newmarket sits along the Lamprey River in New Hampshire's Seacoast region, right where the freshwater opens up into Great Bay. It has the feel of a classic New England river town, with a compact, walkable downtown that makes it easy to grab coffee, meet friends for dinner, or take a walk by the water. Located right between Exeter and the University of New Hampshire in Durham, the town offers a quiet home base that is still an easy drive to Portsmouth, Manchester, or the coast.

NewmarketNH TownHall

The community's character centers on its historic brick and stone textile mills, which have found new life as riverfront apartments, local eateries, and small businesses. Kayakers and paddleboarders regularly take to the Lamprey in the warmer months, while the downtown draws a steady crowd for casual dining and live shows at the Stone Church. It is an easygoing, friendly town with genuine character, making it a popular landing spot for newcomers looking for a grounded Seacoast vibe.
