A Little Bit About Atkinson New Hampshire

I love driving through Atkinson especially in the fall along rte 121...the road is embraced by trees and when the colors change...Wow is it ever pretty!  Next year I am going to make a point of taking photos along that road!

Atkinson is a small Southern NH town in Rockingham County; the community was named after

Col. Theodore Atkinson, a landowner whose farm once covered a good portion of the town. 

He was the Brother-in-law to Governor Benning Wentworth, and served as secretary of the colony until the Revolution. 

  Atkinson contains 11.2 square miles of land area and 0.2 square miles of inland water area.

The latitude of Atkinson is 42.838N. The longitude is -71.147W. Elevation is 262 feet.
The population, at the time of the 2004 census, was 6,638

Atkinson is a flourishing community whose border location is ideal for those commuting to Massachusetts or simply wishing to have easy access to the city of Boston, 35 minutes east brings you to  or 1-2 hours north you'll be in ski country

Atkinson has some pretty cool conservation trails  and shares part of Big Island Pond a popular 500+/-acre lake with the towns of Hampstead and Derry NH.

Atkinson historically has had a strong re-sale value mainly due to its great location.

If I didn’t live in Hampstead I would definitely love living in Atkinson NH.

Hampstead is a small town that has a lot of community spirit and civic pride. 

Very rich in history and often described as a picture perfect postcard town.  Hampstead  is located in Rockingham County.  The town is 30 miles south of Concord, 30 miles west of Portsmouth, and 20 miles from Hampton Beach on the Seacoast.   

The 2004 Census estimate for Hampstead was 8,700 residents, which ranked 32nd among New Hampshire's incorporated cities and towns.

Hampstead contains 13.4 square miles of land, approximately 8,350 acres, 400 of which are inland water area, wholly or in part Island Pond, Sunset Lake, and Angle Pond.

Hampstead is a great commuting location...35 minutes and you’re on an ocean beach, an hour north and you can be skiing.  

 I have lived in Hampstead since 1972 and watched as the town has grown from a small village to bustling little (by some standards) community.  Yet with all the convinces of a much larger town…shopping, community activities, and town beach and recreation fields Hampstead still retains that small town feel. Come and visit us and you’ll see what I mean.
