Why Live in South End

South End in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, is a neighborhood rich in history and charm, featuring several homes in the Strawbery Banke district, a living history museum with around 30 historic residences from the 1700s. These beautifully restored Colonial and Federal-style homes, along with modern Victorian-influenced houses and Cape Cods, range from $900,000 to $4 million. The area is not typically a first-time homebuyer market due to the high property prices, but the lack of state income and property tax attracts buyers from high-tax states. Residents enjoy numerous outdoor activities with access to New Hampshire's 18 miles of coastline, including Wallis Sands and Jenness Beach. Local parks like Peirce Island, Prescott Park, and South Mill Pond Playground offer playgrounds, sports courts, and scenic views. Downtown Portsmouth, less than 2 miles away, boasts a vibrant dining scene with more restaurant tables and bar seats than residents. Popular spots include Jumpin' Jay's Fish Café, Cava, Moxy, and The Library Restaurant. For groceries and essentials, Sanders Fish Market and Hannaford on Islington Street are convenient options.
