Originally called Nutfield when it was first settled in 1719, Windham separated from its original settlement, which included Londonderry and Derry, around 1742. Today, it is a charming suburban community located about 34 miles northwest of Downtown Boston, Massachusetts and about 15 miles southeast of Manchester. Windham is ideally located for students and shoppers, as well. The University of Massachusetts-Lowell is directly south of Windham, and Pheasant Lane Mall is to the southwest. The Mall of New Hampshire is in nearby Manchester.
Windham is a terrific option for a rental if you want a picturesque community with plenty of options for outdoor activities. Nearby Canobie Lake is home to the lakeside Canobie Lake Park, an amusement park dating back to 1902 and including roller coasters, water rides, and more. Foster’s Pond Natural Area provides a more natural experience, with a walking path around the pond. The crowning glory of Windham is the historic Searles Castle, completed in 1915 and open to the public for special events.
