Shopping, recreation and transportation in Raymond

Raymond, a small community at the intersection of rural and suburban living, is 16 miles from Manchester. This small town in New Hampshire's Rockingham County offers access to parks, recreation, shopping and transportation. "You have a mix of your smaller mom-and-pop shops and familiar chain stores and amenities close to you in the Raymond area," says Amanda Bradford, a real estate agent with RE/MAX Synergy. Bradford has worked in the industry for seven years. "You get that rural town feel, but you're not too far off the grid."

Single-family homes, townhouses and condos among rolling hills

The rolling hills of Raymond are dotted with homes and roadways branching off state Route 101. Homes near shopping centers and on the lakes tend to be closer together with smaller lots. In comparison, homes surrounded by open land are built farther apart on larger lots. "In Rockingham County, in general, we have a lot of new construction," says Bradford. "They're building whatever they can, wherever they can. Raymond has a fair amount of new construction ... so you have the option of new construction or subdivisions with single-family colonials." There are also quite a few older homes from the 1700s and the 1800s that prospective homebuyers can choose from. While Raymond has mainly full-time residents, out-of-towners appreciate the town's beauty and purchase second homes along Onway Lake and Governors Lake. Most homes are in the Colonial Revival, split-level and Cape Cod styles. Single-family homes range from $250,000 to $720,000, while townhouses and condos range from $260,000 to $480,000.

Walking trails, disc golf and boating

Riverside Park is a 62-acre wooded area with walking trails, horseshoe pits and a playground. The park also includes the 18-hole Cam Baer Memorial Disc Golf Course and the Raymond Dog Bark Park. Onway Lake is popular for ice fishing and boating. Swimming is not allowed, but motorized boats are permitted. The 18-mile Rockingham Recreational Rail Trail was once the Portsmouth Branch of the Boston and Maine railroad and passes near Onway Lake and the Cammett Recreation Fields, which have soccer and baseball fields for pickup games. The trail is popular for birding and cross-country skiing. Part of the Pawtuckaway State Park is here and offers a beach for swimming, camping, fishing and hiking.

Shopping and dining along Freetown Road and state Route 27

Raymond has several strip malls and restaurants bordering Freetown Road and state Route 27, such as Tuckaway Tavern and Butchery, a butcher shop and restaurant serving sandwiches, steaks and burgers. “For Tuckaway Tavern, you have to be there when they open, or you won't get in," says Bradford. Cork N' Keg Grill is another local gathering spot off Freetown Road. The grill serves American pub food and often hosts DIY art events such as landscape painting, shell decorating and scented candle making. Raymond Shopping Center, a strip mall off Freetown Road, includes a Dollar Tree, a post office and a few restaurants. Less than a mile up the road is a Hannaford for groceries.
