About Farmington
Farmington occupies the rolling hills of central Strafford County between Rochester and Wolfeboro, with Blue Job Mountain State Forest providing hiking and the Cocheco River running through the town center. The shoe and mill manufacturing heritage is visible in the downtown architecture. Home prices are among the most accessible in the Seacoast hinterland, making Farmington a consistent first-time buyer market. The 20-minute commute to Rochester and 45-minute reach to Portsmouth makes it a practical choice for cost-conscious Seacoast workers.
