Rochester is a picturesque city positioned just north of Portsmouth on the Maine state line. Tracing its roots back to the 1720s, the city is home to an amazing assortment of historic architecture, with the classic New England style creating a timeless atmosphere. Rochester Common has traditionally served as the anchor of the community, and today hosts the popular Rochester Farmers’ Market.
Along Main Street, you’ll find a vibrant collective of locally-owned businesses, from hip hangouts like Fresh Vibes and Revolution Taproom to unique specialty shops like Jetpack Comics and Sweet Peach’s Candy & Confections. Much of the surrounding landscape is sparsely developed, with the lush forests and rolling hills providing gorgeous scenery as well as endless opportunities for outdoor exploration.
