Convenient suburban living in Claremont

South End is an expansive Claremont neighborhood between the Connecticut River and the Sugar River. The community is home to the popular Moody Park and close to the city’s public schools, making it a convenient and ideal place for families to settle. The city’s recreation center and Monadnock Park are also close by, providing even more outdoor and fitness opportunities. While some businesses are in the area, people usually visit Washington and Pleasant Streets for restaurants and retailers. Interstate 91 is west of the area, which makes it relatively simple to get to major employers such as Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in the Upper Valley.

Idyllic homes in South End

Area houses come in various architectural styles, ranging from cottages, Cape Cods and ranch styles, to Colonial Revivals, raised ranches, traditional farmhouses and New England-style homes. While some residences date back to the mid-1800s, most were built after the 1950s. Single-family homes between 1,000 and 2,000 square feet are usually listed for about $200,000 to $350,000, and those around 2,500 square feet can go up to $450,000. Homebuyers can also find sprawling country estates with up to 10 acres of land fetching around $700,000, and many have amenities such as outdoor pools and tennis courts right on the property. These houses are often located farther south of the town center, comfortably spread apart with large multi-acre lots that have barns and private woods. Homes closer to Moody Park have smaller quarter-acre to half-acre yards on gridded streets with sidewalks, and the roads narrow deeper into the countryside. “South End is more for plain suburban and rural living,” says James Shibles, a local Realtor at Covered Bridge RE with 9 years of experience. “Houses have large lot sizes and are more spread out. There are also working farms and businesses like car dealerships and auto shops in the area. Developers also like the undeveloped leftover farmland beside the river.”

Recreation opportunities at public parks and rec center

South End is home to the popular Moody Park, a 325-acre outdoor space donated by William H. H. Moody in 1917, featuring hiking trails such as the Moody Trail and a playground for children. Residents can also play disc golf or a tennis match by using the park’s recreational amenities. The private Claremont Country Club's nine-hole golf course sits adjacent to Moody Park and offers some public tee times. Less than 2 miles east, Monadnock Park has several big sports fields often used by local leagues. Right next door, the Claremont Savings Bank Community Center provides residents with dance and personal training classes. Its indoor pools are open year-round to members or those who have passes, and the center offers water aerobics lessons. The gymnasium and walking track are utilized for a variety of sports such as basketball, pickleball and volleyball.
