Royal logging land now an established community

Goffstown, New Hampshire embodies the characteristics of a classic New England Small town. Quaint shops, restaurants and churches line Main Street, and buildings date back to the 19th century. Originally incorporated in 1761, Goffstown started as a farming community, with the area’s pine woodlands providing lumber for the British Royal Navy. Dense woodlands continue to provide locals with a sense of quiet and privacy from their neighbors, with Glen Lake and the Piscataquog River adding to the natural scenery. "There are lots of town events that bring people together, like the annual Independence Day celebration and Christmas tree lighting. When someone in the community is in need, locals come out of the woodwork to lend a hand."

Caffeinate and quench your cravings

Year round, locals can be found walking to Main Street to shop and dine. "You can walk from the village to get your groceries and to grab a meal," Zink says. "It's one of the big draws for people moving to Goffstown: the walkability and the strong community." Folks don’t have to travel far to pick up their groceries and other essentials, with Sully’s Superette at the corner of Mast Street and Route 13. For a morning cup of Joe, residents can stop by Apotheca Flowers, where they can enjoy their beverage while perusing the shops' shelves of decor and gifts. Village Tressel Tavern is the go-to spot for an evening drink or a quick bite, where patrons can enjoy menu items like chicken Philly sandwiches, flatbread and steak tips in a warm and casual atmosphere.

Established homes and river views

While many homes in the community are over 100 years old, new developments add a sense of modernity to the housing scene. Surrounding Main Street, common architectural styles include colonial-esque designs, Victorians with elegant adornments and fish-scale siding, and cozy bungalows. Driving northeast to the nearby subdivisions will take house hunters past modern Colonial Revivals, modern traditional-style homes and ranch-style houses, many of which were built between the 1980s and early 2000s. Wooded properties become more common the farther north you travel, with many being 1 acre or more. Along Elm Street and Shirley Park Road, you will find a selection of lakefront homes with private water access.
