About Plaistow
Plaistow straddles the Route 125 commercial corridor at the NH-Massachusetts line. It's an affordable entry point into southern NH with good highway access to both Haverhill and the greater Boston metro. Taxes are on the higher side relative to neighbors, but home prices remain genuinely accessible and the location is hard to argue with.
