Peaceful rural living in Candia
Candia is a rural town in Rockingham County, southeastern New Hampshire, with a population of about 4,100. Homes are nestled among maple trees and wooded areas, with farms, stone walls and flowing rivers scattered across the landscape. Candia has little commerce, and shopping and dining options are in the neighboring towns of Hookset and Raymond. The town shares a public school district with Hooksett and Auburn, and major state routes pass through the community. “It’s a small town with lots of farms that has easy access to Route 101,” says Angeline Gorham, who is a Realtor at BHHS Verani Realty Hampstead with over 5 years of experience. “And it’s a place where you can get a bit more land and privacy.”
