Messers is a residential enclave in southern New Hampshire
Tucked into a corner of the New Hampshire state line, Messers is a quiet community bordered on two sides by Massachusetts. The New Hampshire enclave is split by the World’s End Pond, contrary to its name a serene body of water popular with anglers and boaters, but is otherwise largely residential surrounding it. “People can easily get from Messers to Haverhill where the train is, where the stores are, where everything is, but you just don’t feel like you’re in the city,” says Andrea Delahunty, a Realtor licensed in both New Hampshire and Massachusetts with Lamacchia Realty. Messers’ primary draw lies in that proximity to commercial corridors, including the Tuscan Village Mall and South Broadway, and commuters’ ability to travel less than 40 miles to Boston. Recreational amenities also lie nearby, including a course where golfers can play one round of golf across two states.
Messers offers a tranquil residential setting with tree‑lined streets and spacious lots.
World’s End Pond spans nearly 100 acres and anchors Messers with calm, tree‑lined shores.

Single-family homes in the New Hampshire countryside
Messers consists almost entirely of single-family properties, though homebuyers have a variety of architecture to choose from. “There’s definitely a mix,” Delahunty, who grew up in nearby North Salem, says. “You have colonial-style homes and split-levels, but not really one particular style. Just a blend of everything.” Ranch-style homes and raised ranches can also be found in Messers. Most single-family homes cost between $500,000 and $800,000. “The neighborhood has bigger acreage and lot sizes,” Delahunty says. The neighborhood has yet to receive a CAP Index crime score.
Split‑level houses in Messers sit on larger lots with mature shade trees.
