Living in Troy

Troy is a small mill town in the Monadnock Region of Cheshire County, sitting at the base of Mount Monadnock's southern approach trails. The town's compact downtown reflects its 19th-century manufacturing history, centered on a small mill pond. Troy's proximity to Mount Monadnock makes it a quieter alternative to the busier trailheads in Jaffrey, while the town's small size keeps commercial development modest. A handful of local businesses serve the surrounding rural community. Housing in Troy remains among the more affordable options in the Monadnock Region, drawing families and value-seekers who want mountain access without the costs of towns closer to Peterborough.
