Living on the South End of downtown Concord
Known for a slow-paced, nature-centric lifestyle, the South End neighborhood sits on the cusp of downtown Concord without sacrificing a suburban feel. “This area was developed later than other Concord neighborhoods, around the 1940s and 1950s,” says Barbara Ruedig with Ruedig Realty, who has been a broker in the area for 35 years. Parks and state forests contrast with small businesses, restaurants and big-box shopping. Some residential streets are more densely packed than others, while lot sizes and home prices increase with distance from downtown.
South End is a mixture of open, natural spaces and close knit neighborhoods.

Recreation at Rollins Park and Memorial Field
Plenty of conservation areas and state forests, including Russell-Shea and West Iron Works, provide miles of hiking trails. For those who prefer water sports, the Merrimack River and Turkey Ponds have boat launches and spots for fishing along wooded shores. Community gathering spaces at Rollins Park and Memorial Field remain the busiest outdoor attractions, though. Rollins Park is the main hub in town, with open fields encompassing an event gazebo, walking trails and a playground. Residents can use the park’s public pool, while winter days can be spent at its ice-skating rink. The park also hosts summer concerts and open-air markets, and local recreation leagues make use of the athletic facilities, which include baseball fields and tennis courts. Concord Public Schools teams often hold their games at Memorial Field, which has a football stadium, multipurpose fields, basketball courts and baseball diamonds. Each facility at Memorial Field can be rented out or used for casual play. New Hampshire Climbing and Fitness’ rock-climbing walls are open year-round, as well, providing indoor recreation during cold New England winters.
South End residents can exercise at Memorial Fields between sporting events.

Free park concerts, city-sponsored events and clubs
The main events in the South End include concerts and sporting events at Memorial Field and Rollins Park. Closer to downtown Concord, though, the City Wide Community Center and Concord Public Library plan plenty of other activities throughout the year. The CWCC has family open-gym sessions and exercise classes, and the library hosts guest speakers, language clubs and reading groups. The library’s true crime club meets twice a month to discuss theories on real-life cold cases. From concerts and plays to comedy shows, the Capitol Center for the Arts holds performances almost nightly off Main Street. The city also puts on various antique shows that bring in large crowds throughout the year and a Christmas parade on Loudon Road during the holiday season.
South End’s cluster of restaurants and shopping
Main, Storrs and South Streets feature most of the neighborhood’s businesses and restaurants. Rite Aid and the South Street Market convenience store provide quick, everyday essentials, while the Capitol Shopping Center has a Market Basket, NH Liquor & Wine Outlet, and casual dining spots, like Playa Bowls and 110 Grill Concord. The closest Target and Walmart are about 9 miles east, across the Merrimack River off Loudon Road. For a sit-down breakfast or lunch, Tucker’s has been serving locally sourced meals for the past decade, with specials like carnitas breakfast bowls and lemon blueberry French toast. Smokeshow BBQ offers Texas-style barbecue with a popular house-made sauce. For a fine-dining experience just a bit farther north on Storrs Street past the Market Basket, Revival Kitchen & Bar is run by award-winning chef Corey Fletcher, who prepares striking seafood and meat dishes.

Homes on both urban and country roads
Single-family homes comprise most of South End’s housing market, with the occasional multifamily property thrown into the mix. Colonials, Cape Cods and ranch-style houses make up most of the neighborhood’s architecture, with prices often ranging between $400,000 and $600,000 for three or four bedrooms. “Every house here is so well maintained, and many were built when contractors were still using hardwood instead of plywood,” Ruedig says. Residential streets are busier toward the city’s center, where sidewalks lead to neighboring houses featuring modest front lawns. Lots begin to sprawl wider with proximity to the state forests, closer to Bow and Dunbarton. New Traditional homes on these larger pieces of land can surpass $700,000, and homebuyers can expect privacy on long, country roads enveloped by trees. These houses are often tucked away off cul-de-sacs, the only indication of a property being a mailbox peeking out of the driveway.
New Traditional styles can be found on large lots in newer developments in South End.

Public and private education within the South End
The Concord School District consists of several primary options that lead to one middle school and a single high school. The district ranks No. 5 in the state for diversity according to Niche and No. 9 for best athletic programs. The South End has Abbot-Downing School for elementary education and Rundlett Middle, which both earn overall C-plus grades on Niche. Abbot-Downing is situated adjacent to Rundlett Middle, making for a convenient carpool experience. Students can then attend Concord High, which Niche gives a B grade. Private schools include St. John Regional School for prekindergarten through eighth grade and Trinity Christian School, which has students in kindergarten through Grade 12.

Transportation, health care and houses of worship
Interstate 89 cuts through the South End, providing access to neighboring towns to the northwest. Interstate 93 runs nearby, providing one of the main routes into downtown Boston, an approximately 67-mile drive that takes about an hour. Concord Area Transit buses stop along busier streets in the neighborhood, as well. The closest airport hub sits about 21 miles south in Manchester. Trips outside of the South End are not necessary for houses of worship like churches and the Temple Beth Jacob synagogue, while the Islamic Society of Greater Concord is about 2 miles closer to downtown. North of Franklin Pierce Highway, Concord Hospital is complete with an emergency room and family health center.
