About Candia
Candia sits east of Manchester in Rockingham County, bordered to the north by Bear Brook State Park — one of the largest state parks in NH with over 10,000 acres of hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian trails. It is a genuine rural community with low density, large lots, and a 20-minute commute to Manchester. Buyers seeking the rural NH experience without sacrificing employment access consistently find Candia to be an underrated gem.
