Keene City Real Estate

Keene City Real Estate & Homes for Sale in New Hampshire

Keene is located on the Ashuelot River in the Monadnock Region, or what residents call “the quiet corner of New Hampshire.” The region is named for nearby Mount Monadnock and is the geographic center of New England. Keene radiates small-town country charm, from the covered bridges over creeks and rivers to the trees changing from vibrant greens to warm golds, oranges and reds as the seasons pass. In winter, snowfalls blanket the rolling hills and mountains and Keene resembles a Currier and Ives illustration. Farmer’s markets, antique shops in converted mills and traditional fairs and festivals are popular attractions that further enhance the town’s hometown flavor. Keene is the county seat of Cheshire County and is also home to industries on the cutting edge of technology. Often called “the suburb without the big city next door,” Keene is a lively community of restaurants and shopping, as well as music, theater, dance and other arts. Two liberal arts colleges, Keene State and Franklin Pierce College, are located in Keene, as is nationally recognized Antioch New England Graduate School. Public education is excellent, with students consistently scoring above the state and national averages on the SAT. From its picturesque, tree-lined main street to its eclectic shopping opportunities and annual festivals and special events, Keene offers a charming small-town environment for families of all shapes and sizes.
