Situated in Rockingham County, Derry or “Spacetown” is home to history and modern comforts. Derry is the birthplace of astronaut and the first American to travel into space, Alan B. Shepherd Jr. – and the reason behind the city’s nickname. Poet Robert Frost’s house and farm is in Derry, which is now a historic landmark used for tours and poetry readings.
East Derry – or Upper Village – is the town’s historic district, housing the oldest building which was erected in 1769. When residents aren’t home relaxing in their apartment, they’re off seeing a comedy show at the Tupelo Music Hall, sipping ales at Rockingham Brewing Company, or wine tasting at the local vineyard.
Residents also get to enjoy a leisurely hike along the Rockingham Recreational Trail, tee time at Hoodkroft Country Club, or dinner at one of Derry’s many gourmet restaurants. Direct access to Manchester-Boston Regional Airport and The Mall of New Hampshire gives peace of mind to residents.
