Sitting right across the Maine state line juts minutes inland from the Atlantic, the town of Durham is best known as home to the University of New Hampshire and its 15,000 students. The campus dominates the landscape, with the adjacent Downtown district offering a wide selection of coffeehouses and restaurants catering to the university population and locals alike.
The local rental market is quite diverse, ranging from affordable student apartments to upscale suburban homes and everything in between. The whole town reflects the timeless character of New England, from the historic architecture to the tranquil rivers to the sprawling forests that explode with color every fall. When you’re looking for a change of scenery, Boston is only about 90 minutes down Interstate 95, and the region’s mountains and ski resorts are close at hand as well.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
