Concord Heights
Neighborhood in Concord, New Hampshire
Merrimack County 03275, 03301
Quintessential New England architecture for under $500,000
Homes in Concord Heights come in a variety of styles, from ranchers and Capes to larger colonials. Single-family home prices tend to run between $350,000 and about $450,000 for two- to four-bedroom properties. Condos are another popular choice in both complexes and detached units, often falling in the $100,000 range. Most homes feature driveways or garages, making street parking uncommon. The lack of sidewalks does not deter residents from strolling under the shade of mature trees, along the neighborhood’s well-kept lawns. While many residential streets are quiet, houses close to the Concord Municipal Airport in the center of Concord Heights may experience more noise, though not comparable to the commotion of major hubs, which are outside of the city.

Concord’s flourishing park system
Keach Park is the neighborhood’s main community green space, featuring a playground, a Little League baseball diamond, soccer fields and a lighted basketball court. In 2023, the city installed a soccer mini pitch, used for games confined to an enclosed court with built-in walls and goals. The park’s paths total almost half a mile, with a story-walk installation for kids. Under 5 miles north, Merrill Park has more athletic fields, another playground and a seasonal pool. The park covers approximately 16 acres, and its pond holds fishing tournaments for children. Golf enthusiasts can play on Pembroke Pines Country Club’s public 18-hole course. The Concord Public Skatepark and Douglas N. Everett Arena for ice hockey sit near the water, along with Terrill Park’s multi-use trails along the riverfront. Under an extensive improvement process, this park will soon expand with picnic areas and a multi-purpose field. Phase 1 of this project was completed in October of 2020 with the installation of one of Concord’s only dog parks. For other outdoor adventures, plenty of conservation land can be found to the west of the river.

The Concord School District elementary schools all lead to Rundlett Middle, with a C-plus, and Concord High, which scores a B. The district ranks No. 5 in the state for diversity by Niche and No. 9 for best athletic programs. Concord Christian Academy serves as a private option for prekindergarten through twelfth grade, where 95% of its graduating class advances to higher education at university or college.

Concord’s annual celebrations and year-round activities
Formerly the Dame School, The City Wide Community Center has meeting rooms, exercise areas, auditoriums and a senior lounge. Residents come here for anything from pickleball and dance class, to picking out a book at the Heights Branch of the Concord Public Library. The center is not the only spot that holds events, as the city also hosts antique shows and a Christmas parade on Loudon Road that bring in many visitors. “We have great memories when our grandchildren would line up the road to watch the parade go by,” Polack says. The Douglas N. Everett Arena has many functions, as well, including the Kiwanis Fair that features carnival rides and vendors. The Kiwanis Group is a local service committee that works to improve and bring together the Concord community.Public transportation and getting around Concord
Concord Area Transit provides public buses throughout the neighborhood. “There are three routes: Crosstown, Heights and Penacook that cover most of the city,” Polack says. Major arteries, like Interstates 93 and 393 run right through town, as well as Route 3, which flows from Boston all the way up to Canada. The 23-mile commute to Manchester-Boston Regional Airport takes about half an hour, while private flights take off from Concord Municipal Airport within the neighborhood. Trips out of town are not necessary for health care, as Concord Hospital sits about 3 to 4 miles west.

Dining in Food Valley and easy access to shopping
Shaw’s, Target, Aldi and Walmart are just a few of the many shopping options in Concord Heights. PetSmart covers furry friends, Dick’s Sporting Goods provides for the athletes and The Home Depot has the tools. Locals can pick up Asian-Nepali groceries and meals at Katmandu Bazaar in Papa Gino’s strip mall. Loudon Road, or “Food Alley,” is packed with fast and casual options including Olive Garden and Starbucks. “Anything you can imagine is there on Loudon Road, where franchises rub elbows with local spots such as Red Arrow, El Rodeo, Man Yee and Arnie’s” Polack says. The Red Arrow Diner has served up classic American fare for over 100 years, and El Rodeo and Man Yee offer Mexican and Chinese eats, respectively. Arnie’s Place, a family-owned barbecue, burger and ice cream joint is housed in an old red barn, formerly a Dairy Queen until 1990. Arnie’s is recognized as a community staple and local hot spot, and during Christmas, it sells trees and wreaths in the parking lot.
