About Lee

Lee sits immediately adjacent to Durham and the University of New Hampshire campus, making it a natural home base for UNH faculty, staff, and graduate students who want more space and lower prices than Durham proper. The town has a quiet rural character with generous conservation land holdings, and residents have easy access to Durham's cultural amenities, Exeter's commercial offerings, and the Portsmouth job market. The school district is shared with Durham, reflecting the academic community's influence.
