What it’s like
The place. Stratham is a small town in Rockingham County where nearly everyone owns their home, and typical home values are high. Household incomes run well above the county's, very few residents live below the poverty line, and most adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in banks, insurance and property, in shops, and in professional and business services. Some of the largest workplaces in Stratham are Lindt & Sprungli USA, a chocolate and confectionery maker, UPS, and Demoulas Super Markets. A good share of residents work from home, and the typical commute is a moderate drive.
Things to do. Odiorne Point State Park, a protected shoreline area, and Great Bay National Wildlife Refuge are both a short drive away and suit walking and watching wildlife. The Lamprey River and the Exeter River, also a short drive off, are local rivers for paddling and quiet time by the water. Fort Stark, an old coastal fort, is a short drive as well.
