Living in Plaistow

Plaistow sits on the Massachusetts border in Rockingham County, where Route 125 and Route 121A create a busy commercial corridor serving both the town and neighboring communities. The town's proximity to I-495 in Massachusetts makes it a popular stop for shoppers and commuters. Retail plazas, restaurants, and service businesses line the town's main routes, giving Plaistow a more commercial character than many of its rural Rockingham County neighbors. Residential neighborhoods sit back from the main corridors, offering a quieter contrast to the retail strip. Plaistow's location and commercial base make it a practical choice for commuters working across the Massachusetts border or in the Manchester area. Housing costs remain moderate compared to towns closer to the Seacoast.
