Home to Plymouth State University, the city of Plymouth is a proud college town filled with a youthful environment and local amenities. Nestled along Pemigewasset River in the suburbs of New Hampshire, Plymouth is surrounded by sprawling mountain ranges and dense forests, making this a great place to hike. White Mountain National Forest is just a new miles northeast of town, offering hiking and skiing trails across more than 800,000 acres of forested mountains.
This historic small town offers local gems like the Museum of the White Mountains — owned and operated by the university. Along Main Street, you’ll find locals enjoying comfort food at the Main Street Station, the lively atmosphere at Lucky Dog Tavern & Grill, and the various events at the Flying Monkey. Plymouth offers everything for renters from affordable apartments to spacious, historic homes.
