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."

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.
