Stratham, New Hampshire offers a sense of the quiet, rural lifestyle around every turn of its back roads. Modern-day Stratham seems to lack a commercial town center much as it has through history; instead, it has always served as a corridor and suburb, even in the earliest days when farming was the mainstay of the community. The Stratham economy is fueled by the occupants of the Stratham Industrial Park and by dozens of large and small businesses lining the town's two main roadways. Most are located in supermarket-anchored shopping centers, attractive brick business centers or high-end, wood-framed mini-malls.
Education plays an important role in Stratham, home to several private preschools, a Montessori school and its own community-supported Memorial School. It's also the site of the seacoast branch of the seven-college New Hampshire Community Technical College system.
Popular youth recreation programs in baseball, softball, basketball and soccer are run by a volunteer recreation director. Recreation fields at Stratham Hill Park, Memorial School and the municipal center are in constant demand.
Each July, thousands of visitors turn Stratham upside down for one weekend during the Stratham Fair, which fills Stratham Hill Park with prize farm animals, 4-H shows, craft displays, special entertainment and midway. The park is named for Stratham Hill, the highest land point in the seacoast with a fire tower that affords views as far as Mount Washington on a clear day. In winter, a snowy weekend brings out dozens of families for great sledding down the side of the hill.
Stratham's gently rolling countryside, much of it just off the beaten path, belies the fact that this is a community of steady, vibrant growth.

NEW HAMPSHIRE (NH) THE BEAUTIFUL -- "LIVE FREE OR DIE"
"Why did you move to New Hampshire?"
Most newcomers would answer that question with three simple words: "quality of life." This is an area where young parents want to raise their kids and then stay once the nest is empty - where neighbor knows neighbor, strong community ties develop and friendships endure. There is an unmistakable feeling of COMING HOME to the beauty of a land that overwhelms you and makes you want to live here forever.
Tucked into a corner of the northeastern United States, the state is the most mountainous of the six contiguous states that comprise New England. Shaped like a right triangle, the "Granite State" shares a boundary with the Canadian province of Quebec to the north, the winding Connecticut River and the state of Vermont to the west, the state of Maine and the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and Massachusetts to the south.
Anywhere you choose to call home in the state is just a short day trip from the city, the mountains or the ocean. The Merrimack Valley and Seacoast regions, which make up most of the southern tier, are each about an hour from the many attractions of the greater Boston area. Less than a 2-hour drive to the north are the majestic mountains of the Presidential range and the extensive waterways that form the Lakes Region.
Whatever your lifestyle, New Hampshire the Beautiful has a region to suit it!
