Future development planned for rural Newton
Sitting along the state’s border with Massachusetts, Newton is a rural community close to major thoroughfares and just 15 miles from Hampton’s sandy beaches. The town is mostly residential, though there are also farms throughout and an industrial park in the south end. While Rockingham County has worked to preserve the rural identity of towns like East Kingston, Realtor Heather Hanlon says growth is on the agenda for this part of the state. “I think it's safe to say that most of the towns in southern New Hampshire are focused on development,” says Hanlon, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Residential who’s been selling homes in the area for eight years. Recently, millions of dollars have been invested in the Southern New Hampshire Chamber of Commerce for future investments in the region’s office buildings, business parks and infrastructure. Most of the recent development is in the nearby communities of Windham and Atkinson, though improvements are also set for state Route 108 in Newton.
Newton is located in Rockingham County, New Hampshire, known for its rural character.
Just 15 miles from Newton, NH, Hampton Beach offers the perfect quick getaway to enjoy ocean breezes, sandy shores, and coastal charm.

Traditional-style, contemporary homes starting in the $400,000s
Newton features Colonial homes from as early as 1750, more modern Cape Cods and ranch-style houses and contemporary homes built in the past 25 years. There are a few subdivisions throughout town, but most homes sit along winding roads on larger plots of land. “For the most part, lot sizes start at an acre and go up from there,” says Hanlon. “Prices are in line with the rest of Rockingham County, which is the highest priced county in the state.” Homes tend to stay on the market for about three weeks and typically sell for $400,000 to $800,000. There are also new condo communities like Palmer Woods, and the 55-plus Sargent Woods, that range from $500,000 to $650,000.
Colonial-style homes, some dating back to the 1750s, add historic charm to Newton.
