Living in Chichester

Chichester is a small, rural town in Merrimack County just east of Concord, with a modest village center and surrounding farmland. The town's proximity to the capital city has made it a practical, affordable choice for Concord-area commuters. Chichester's rural roads and conservation land offer hiking close to home, while the town's small size keeps commercial development limited. Most shopping and dining trips head into Concord or nearby Pittsfield. Housing in Chichester remains relatively affordable, drawing families and first-time buyers who want a short commute to Concord without that city's density. The town's rural character remains largely intact despite its proximity to the capital.
