  • How is the public transportation system in Portsmouth?

    Not great. Although the city is small, the most it offers in the way of transportation amounts to several trolley routes. The trolleys are convenient and make many stops in the area. However, the free COAST trolley runs only during the summer and fall. As a general rule, cars work best for navigating the New Hampshire seacoast region.

  • Are there any quiet neighborhoods in Portsmouth?

    Yes. Elwyn Park / Portsmouth Plains is one of Portsmouth's quieter neighborhoods. With mostly single-family, medium-sized homes, this neighborhood occupies the southern section of town. It's also suburban in terms of population density, a factor that may contribute to its tranquil nature. Another neighborhood that shares many characteristics with Elwyn Park / Portsmouth Plains, including its low noise levels, is Lafayette Rd / South St, located just to the north.

  • Why should I move to Portsmouth?

    Portsmouth is a quaint seaside city located about an hour north of Boston, Massachusetts, and an hour south of Portland, Maine. A historic seaport and popular summer tourist destination, Portsmouth has a lot to offer despite its smallish population size of about 21,000. It has a substantial amount of cultural options, especially theater; Portsmouth is home to the Seacoast Repertory Theatre, a professional theater troupe, and the Prescott Park Arts Festival presents entertainments such as plays every summer in Portsmouth's waterfront park. Portsmouth's beaches also offer many leisure activities to its residents. For families with school-age kids, Portsmouth also boasts low crime rates and good public schools.
