About Kingston

Kingston is a quintessential small Seacoast town built around Great Pond, home to Kingston State Beach β€” one of the most popular freshwater beaches in southern NH. The town has a historic center, highly rated elementary schools, and a safe, welcoming character. Proximity to Exeter (15 minutes) and the broader Portsmouth job market makes Kingston a compelling value for buyers priced out of the closer Seacoast communities.
