Peaceful country living in Barrington
Barrington is a peaceful town in Strafford County, New Hampshire. Encompassing about 50 square miles of natural landscape and tranquil lakes, Barrington offers many outdoor opportunities and recreational activities. The town has a population of around 10,000, and is primarily a residential community with some local establishments along Calef Highway. “People here love their town and take great pride in living here,” says Stephanie Sweeney, the town’s youth and community program coordinator. “Barrington is a unique setup in that the town has some really cute mom and pop local stores, but it’s also easily accessible to bigger places like Rochester, Dover and Portsmouth, so nothing’s out of reach.”
Properties along Swains Lake enjoy direct access to the water.
Caleb’s Country Store adds local flavor to Barrington.

Single-family homes in the New Hampshire woods
With rolling hills and dense, forested terrain, Barrington's homes are often tucked behind towering trees and verdant greens. Houses are comfortably spread apart, and many homes have lots that go from quarter-acre to over two acres. Homes were built throughout the 20th century, with a mix of new developments and subdivisions. Homes range from Cape Cods and ranch-style homes to Colonial Revivals, split-levels and New Traditional. Smaller properties, typically under 2,000 square feet, go between $300,000 and $550,000, and larger builds can reach $800,000. New developments go from $800,000 to about $1 million, with a handful of waterfront properties reaching just over $1.2 million.
