Sitting right across the Maine state line juts minutes inland from the Atlantic, the town of Durham is best known as home to the University of New Hampshire and its 15,000 students. The campus dominates the landscape, with the adjacent Downtown district offering a wide selection of coffeehouses and restaurants catering to the university population and locals alike.

The local rental market is quite diverse, ranging from affordable student apartments to upscale suburban homes and everything in between. The whole town reflects the timeless character of New England, from the historic architecture to the tranquil rivers to the sprawling forests that explode with color every fall. When you’re looking for a change of scenery, Boston is only about 90 minutes down Interstate 95, and the region’s mountains and ski resorts are close at hand as well.
