What is the value of my house in Bedford, NH?

 

Located about 50 miles from Boston, Bedford, NH is known as an upscale bedroom community for executives commuting to Manchester, Nashua, Concord and Boston. Bedford is made up of about 79 percent residences and 21 percent businesses. The town has created a master plan to direct commercial growth so that the lifestyle of its residents is not compromised. Near the quaint town center are old farm areas where many of Bedford’s lifelong citizens reside. Bedford has a first-rate educational system and superior recreational facilities while maintaining a comparatively low and stable tax base. Bedford recently acquired a 312-acre parcel known as the Joppa Hill Farm, which will be used for conservation and recreational purposes. In 2000, the Town officially dedicated Legacy Park, a 70-acre facility that includes soccer, softball, and baseball fields; cross-country ski trails and warming hut; basketball courts; tennis courts; and a skateboard park.
