At the bend of the Merrimack, Bow pairs wooded calm with commuter convenience. Think spacious lots, quiet roads, and trail-laced conservation land, yet I-93 and I-89 put Concord, Manchester, and even Boston within easy reach. The vibe is upscale but unpretentious: privacy, breathing room, and a town that still feels neighborly.
Families come for the schools and stay for the lifestyle. The Bow School District’s strong academics sit beside everyday nature, Nottingcook Forest hikes, river views, and starlit backyards. History threads through town, from Mary Baker Eddy’s birthplace to long-kept village traditions. In Bow, you get suburban ease without the sprawl, and a community that makes “home” feel grounded and close.
