Nashua is a fairly small city right on the Massachusetts state line, 25 minutes south of Manchester and under one hour north of Boston. Downtown is a thriving walking district of storefronts and locally-owned cafes housed in classic New England architecture.

When you’re looking to get some exercise or just unwind and enjoy the peace and quiet, the Riverwalk loop provides a scenic and tranquil footpath along the banks of the Merrimack River. Holman Stadium is a popular venue for everything from community sports to major concerts from touring musicians. The city is also home to the campuses for seven small colleges, with a combined student population of around 15,000; this has helped support a thriving nightlife scene, with a collective of bars and clubs serving up good times for every taste. Partly thanks to the presence of a large research community from the local colleges, Nashua has seen the growth of a thriving tech sector over the years. It’s no wonder that Nashua is the first and only city in America to earn the number-one spot TWICE on Money magazine’s list of Best Places to Live in America.
