    "Hampton is a great community to live in. Whether you want to go to the beach, enjoy the many local parks, listen to live music at one of the fantastic restaurants, or even play a round of mini golf there is always something to do. Excellent schools and invested community members make it even more special. "

    "It’s basically a summer beach resort. I’m here with a winter rental! The beach is very popular for walking your dogs many do and off leash (if your dog is responsive) is so great! We’ve met many nice dogs and people! Not to many restaurants but what there are are great! "

    "Great area for kids to play without worry about traffic. Lots of "quietness", country living, and surrounding woods offer great hiking, and XCountry Skiing. If you're commuting to Boston, Portland or Manchester Route 101 is 1/2 mile away and Interstate 95 is 2 miles away. 2 1/2 miles to Exeter shopping but still in the Hampton School District. Best of both Worlds. Beaches are just 6-7 miles east."
