I love driving through
Atkinson
especially in the fall along rte 121...the road is embraced by trees
and when the colors change...Wow is it ever pretty! Next year I am
going to make a point of taking photos along that road!
Atkinson is a small Southern NH town in Rockingham County; the community was named after Col. Theodore Atkinson, a landowner whose farm once covered a good portion of the town. He was the Brother-in-law to Governor Benning Wentworth, and served as secretary of the colony until the Revolution.
Atkinson contains 11.2 square miles of land area and 0.2 square miles of inland water area.
The latitude of Atkinson is 42.838N. The longitude is -71.147W. Elevation is 262 feet.
The population, at the time of the 2004 census, was 6,638
Atkinson
is a flourishing community whose border location is ideal for those
commuting to Massachusetts or simply wishing to have easy access to the
city of Boston, 35 minutes east brings you to or 1-2 hours
north you'll be in ski country

Atkinson has some pretty cool conservation trails and shares part of Big Island Pond a popular 500+/-acre lake with the towns of Hampstead and Derry NH.
Atkinson is also home to a little gem known as The Atkinson Resort & Country Club and a challenging 18 hole championship Golf Course all nestled in the charming countryside.

Atkinson
historically has had a strong re-sale value mainly due to its great
location. Just a few minutes away is the town of Plaistow with it's
many fine dining options and shopping, an hour south brings you to the
city of Boston, 15 minutes west brings you to the gateway of NH a town
called Salem. An hour north and you arrive in the White Mountains
with its many attractions plus fine ocean beaches are just a short ride
away.
If I didn’t live in Hampstead I would definitely love living in Atkinson NH.
