About Newmarket

Newmarket is undergoing a classic mill town reinvention β€” historic brick buildings along the Lamprey River are being converted into lofts, restaurants, and creative spaces. It's 8 minutes from UNH in Durham and dramatically cheaper than Portsmouth. An early-stage gentrification play with genuine character and strong bones.
