Londonderry sits in southern New Hampshire, just off I-93, making it an ideal commuter town for those working in Manchester, Salem, or even Boston. But commuting convenience is just one piece of the puzzle. Once you land here, you’ll find expansive neighborhoods, farmland-turned-new subdivisions, and a sense of place that stays rooted in its agricultural past—especially the apple orchards that dot the town.
Families rank high—Londonderry schools have a strong reputation (we’ll dig into that soon). You’ll also see professionals commuting to nearby cities, plus longtime locals who’ve farmed these lands for generations. There’s a slow but steady influx of transplants from Massachusetts seeking lower taxes and more elbow room.
While you won’t find a massive downtown, the central area offers essentials like supermarkets and pharmacies. For bigger retail hunts, the Mall of New Hampshire is a quick hop north in Manchester, or you can drive to Salem’s shopping corridors. Travel-wise, I-93 is the major artery, and Route 102 cuts east-west. Public transit is limited, so a car is typically necessary. But the payoff is scenic back roads and the freedom to enjoy orchard views instead of gridlock.
Londonderry keeps that small-town soul while recognizing the draw of modern developments. You’ll see orchard stands selling fresh cider and local honey in the fall, and ongoing housing projects popping up. The real estate scene thrives on a mix of older ranches, updated Colonials, and brand-new construction. It’s that balance—rural authenticity meets suburban convenience—that has people eyeing Londonderry.
In short, if you’re hunting for a place where you can enjoy crisp autumn days picking apples and still get to your office within an hour, Londonderry might be your sweet spot. And if you need a hand selling or buying here, let me leverage my three decades of New England know-how to make it happen.
For many families, Londonderry’s school system is a top reason to move here. The Londonderry School District consistently performs well in New Hampshire’s academic rankings, with teachers and administrators who take real pride in nurturing students across all grade levels.
Overall, the district scores above state averages in core subjects, and attendance rates are typically high. The high school’s graduation rate hovers in the upper 90% range, reflecting a community that values education and invests in the next generation.
School events double as community gatherings—Friday night football, the annual craft fair, or the band’s big performance. Teachers usually live in or near town, which fosters that sense of “we’re all in this together.” If you’re relocating with kids, expect them to slip into a supportive environment pretty quickly, where neighbors share carpool duties and teachers might already know your family’s name.

Despite a population that leans suburban, Londonderry isn’t short on ways to fill your downtime. From laid-back orchard visits to last-minute retail runs, the town has a bit of everything.
The central area around Route 102 and Mammoth Road hosts supermarkets, hardware stores, and a few local boutiques. For a deeper dive, you might drive into Manchester or Salem—both offer larger malls and outlet centers. But if you want an authentic local experience, Mack’s Apples orchard stand is a must in the fall, where you can grab fresh produce and soak in classic New England charm.
You’ll find chain gyms like Planet Fitness plus smaller boutique studios offering yoga or CrossFit. If you’re into youth sports, the town’s rec leagues for soccer, baseball, and lacrosse are popular—practices usually fill up area fields on Saturday mornings. For adults, local softball leagues or a quick round at Hidden Creek Golf Course might keep you active.
You’re about a half-hour from the White Mountains region if you push north—perfect for a day hike or a winter ski trip. Manchester’s museums, concerts, and nightlife are under a 20-minute drive. In the fall, orchard hopping is practically an event—picking apples, sipping warm cider, and snapping photos for Instagram.
Bottom line: if you’re not busy, it’s because you’re not looking. Londonderry offers that small-town pace, but still manages to keep your weekends from being boring. A leisurely orchard stroll? A quick shopping spree? A meal at a local favorite? All on the menu here.
With a population around 26,000, Londonderry isn’t a huge metropolis—but that’s precisely its charm. The town weaves together agricultural roots, suburban growth, and a dash of modern convenience. Over the years, I’ve watched this place flourish as families discover the perks: reputable schools, orchard-filled backdrops, and a sense that neighbors still know each other by name.
Like any New England town, there’s a strong sense of volunteerism. Civic groups, church functions, and school sports nights end up binding residents together. Need a hand shoveling after a snowstorm? Odds are someone’s got your back. The police and fire departments are well-integrated, hosting open houses and safety events that families genuinely enjoy.
I’m Suzanne Damon—30+ years in real estate, top 10% in New England, and over $100 million in sales. Londonderry’s median home value of around $570,000 speaks to its balanced market: not as frenetic as some spots closer to Boston, yet still competitive. I’ve turned stale listings around by emphasizing what people crave here: top schools, orchard views, and a location that’s commuter-friendly but still restful. You don’t have to twist buyers’ arms much once they see the community spirit.
Besides orchard hopping, the town’s dotted with parks like Moose Hill Fields and Kendall Pond Conservation Area, offering trails, playgrounds, and picnic spots. Kids (and sometimes adventurous adults) sled on local hills come winter. If you want bigger escapades, you’re an hour or so from the White Mountains or the ocean coastline. It’s the kind of place where you can handle a morning commute and still escape for a short sunset hike.
Londonderry is that sweet balance: not too big, not too small, always adding a new grocery store or coffee shop, but still anchored in orchard culture and neighborly values. If that resonates with you—if you want a piece of that New Hampshire life that’s equal parts scenic and practical—let’s talk about making it happen. I’ve guided countless clients to success here, and I’d love to help you find your perfect fit in this orchard-laden gem.
