Small, coastal town in a central location
Sixty miles north of Boston, Newington is a New Hampshire town in the Seacoast Region with waterfront homes, natural beauty and lots of shopping and dining. “It’s a small community by the water,” says Matthew Silverstein, a real estate agent with KW Coastal and Lakes & Mountains Realty, who has over 5 years of experience. “You’re 10 minutes from everything, but you can get your privacy.” Manufacturing, defense and retail are key industries. “It’s next to Portsmouth and the Pease Air National Guard Base,” Silverstein says. “You get the small-town feel with big-town amenities.”
Newington is a small coastal town known for its scenic views of the Piscataqua River.
Homes on multi-acre lots provide privacy and wooded views.

Custom waterfront estates
Newington’s homes are typically 21st-century custom estates, but there are a handful of older houses, including historic 19th-century Colonials. “There’s still construction going on,” Silverstein says. “They’re relatively larger homes; there’s no real small houses here.” These single-family homes are typically situated on multi-acre wooded lots, tucked away along quiet, tree-lined roads or within small, secluded subdivisions by the waterfront. “Half of the homes are on the water or have water views,” Silverstein says. “Some homes will have private docks and pools — these are big houses with the comforts of a big house.” The median home price in Newington is about $820,000, compared to $800,000 in Portsmouth.
Historic Colonials remain among Newington’s few older homes.

Academic and athletic opportunities at Portsmouth High
Newington is part of several school districts, including Portsmouth School District, which is rated the best in Rockingham County, earning an A-minus overall from Niche. Portsmouth High School offers dual-enrollment courses through the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH). The high school also has a successful athletics program, with 2021 state championships in field hockey and boys’ and girls’ lacrosse.
Portsmouth High School was founded in the year 1873 and serves the town of Newintgon.
Newington Public Schools offer a personalized learning environment.
Portsmouth Middle School is a vibrant, coastal New England school for Newington students.

Boating, fishing and exploring the Seacoast
Newington’s shoreline isn’t a traditional beach — it’s a mix of tidal bays, coves and inlets along the Piscataqua River and Great Bay. “You can swim, but it’s more of a boating and fishing area," Silverstein says. From Great Bay Marine, boaters can access the Great Bay and the Piscataqua River, while anglers may cast their lines for striped bass, bluefish and summer flounder. Fox Point, a 120-acre town-owned green space, has a residents-only dock — a popular launch spot for kayaks and paddleboards. The nearby Great Bay National Wildlife Refuge offers tree-lined trails ideal for hiking or snowshoeing; birders may spot blue-winged teals, rock pigeons and snow buntings. Established in 1901, Pease Golf Course features 27 holes, and Newington Town Park provides a quiet space for picnics or a walk by the water.

Tax-free shopping and dining in New Hampshire
The Mall at Fox Run is an indoor shopping center featuring over 60 tax-free retailers and restaurants, including national brands like Macy’s and H&M. There are several shopping plazas next to the mall, including The Crossings, anchored by Trader Joe’s and Best Buy. Across the street, Lo’s Seafood & Oriental Market offers fresh seafood and specialty Asian ingredients. “There’s everything,” Silverstein says. “There are four to six supermarkets within a 5-minute drive.” Nearby, the non-profit Brooklyn Cafe — billed as the only kosher cafe in New Hampshire — is a popular spot for morning coffee and bagels. Along the waterfront, Stoneface Brewing Co. offers locally crafted beers and hearty comfort fare like the smoked brisket grilled cheese with gouda, fried grape tomatoes, arugula and horseradish aioli. The brewery also hosts concerts and art/gardening workshops throughout the year.
