West Concord encompasses rural living close to the capital city's center
Shade is easy to come by in West Concord, a suburban community separated from the city’s lively downtown district. “It has that very rural, woodsy New Hampshire vibe, but it’s still within reach of downtown,” says Maria Stika, Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Metro-Concord and Merrimack County resident. Given its setting, much of its recreation centers around the outdoors, from paddling the Contoocok River to picking apples at Carter Hill Orchard. However, residents are not far from the local restaurants of downtown, 3 miles south, and the many shopping developments surrounding it.
Homebuyers will find a variety of housing options
Mid-to-late 20th-century suburbs fill the neighborhood’s eastern side. These homes come in ranch, colonial and other styles of the area. Though these properties sit on quarter-acre lots, mature trees provide a sense of privacy for most. Homebuyers will also find Condos, townhouses and manufactured homes in this portion of the community, which range in price from $180,000 to $480,000. Some of the mobile homes are within Foxcroft Estates, a 55-plus community. Narrow roads wind through the community’s western side, where verdant forests frame lots spanning multiple acres. Long driveways lead to properties featuring similar architectural styles. Prices for single-family homes across North End typically range from $400,000 to $600,000.
Golfing, paddling and Merrimack River swimming keeps residents active
At Beaver Meadow Golf Course on the east side, visitors can practice swings at its driving range or across its 18-hole public course. Sewall’s Falls Beach Trail runs next door along the Merrimack River. Alongside a wooded path for walks and bike rides, a sandy section near Sewall’s Falls Dam Site makes for a swimming spot during summer. Contoocook River Canoe Co. on Horse Hill Road offers guided tours down the Contoocook and rentals for those looking to paddle with friends.
Locals can dine in the neighborhood or along downtown's Main Street
A selection of restaurants dot Fisherville Road in the neighborhood, including The POST Restaurant, a popular breakfast diner. Many more locally owned spots line Main Street downtown. Stika mentions The Barley House Restaurant & Tavern, known for its pub-style menu, as a city staple. “When you think of Barley House, you think Concord,” she says. Several boutiques and specialty shops share the walkable stretch. Fort Eddy Plaza is just east of downtown and houses Hannaford and other grocers, alongside retailers such as L.L. Bean Outlet and Books-A-Million. More options, including Target and J.C. Penney, are available within developments along Franklin Pierce Highway, 3 miles southeast.
Beaver Meadow School takes learning to the outdoors
Beaver Meadow School receives a C on Niche. The elementary school participates in the Concord Public School’s Project SEE (Science and Environmental Education), which takes students on field trips to the Project SEE Learning Center at White Farm for hands-on learning. Rundlett Middle School has a C-plus and has been the subject of potential renovations since 2017. Concord School District is still in the planning period, and a complete demolition and rebuild remains on the table. Concord High School earns a B-minus. B-plus-rated Bishop Brady High School is one of several local private options. For postgraduates, NHTI - Concord's Community College and University of New Hampshire Franklin Pierce School of Law are within 3 miles of the community.
Carter Hill Orchard apple picking is fall staple
Apple picking at Carter Hill Orchard in the neighborhood has become an annual fall tradition for many across the city. Folks can also choose a pumpkin for jack-o-lantern carving, purchase fresh produce and take a few dozen of the longstanding orchard’s apple cider donuts to go.
Getting through and around West Concord
Stika notes that drives into Downtown Concord on Fisherville Road are quick. Residents can also ride into the city’s center on Concord Area Transit buses, which service stops along the throughway. Interstate 93 passes east of the neighborhood, linking the area to Manchester, some 20 miles south.
