• Durham Community - A very special place, Durham is a community that deeply values the environment, open spaces, flowing rivers, and the Little and Great Bays. It has beautiful woodlands and parks that are available to the public. It is a scenic community, yet one that is strategically located with respect to the ocean, the mountains, the lakes, and the cosmopolitan areas of Portsmouth, Portland, and Boston. It is a community that houses the University of New Hampshire, the state's premier public university. Finally, Durham is a bustling downtown, complete with historic reminders of ages gone by, but one that still serves to cater to the needs of residents today. (Durham Information)
