Living in Haverhill

Haverhill is a Connecticut River Valley town in Grafton County made up of several distinct villages, including Haverhill Corner and Woodsville, its main commercial center. The town's historic architecture and river valley farmland give it a classic upper valley character. Woodsville serves as a regional commercial hub for the surrounding rural area, with a small downtown of shops and services, while Haverhill Corner retains a preserved historic district overlooking the river. The Connecticut and Ammonoosuc rivers both pass through town. Housing in Haverhill remains affordable relative to the Upper Valley towns further south near Hanover, drawing families and retirees seeking river-valley living at a lower cost. The town's role as a regional hub provides more services than many similarly sized rural communities.
