About Hampstead
Hampstead is a small residential town centered on pristine lakes and excellent schools. Cobbetts Pond and Wash Pond offer summer swimming and boating. The school district consistently punches above its size. There's no commercial sprawl — just well-tended neighborhoods, conservation land, and trails.
