Meredith

Meredith shines with quintessential New England waterfront charm and scenic beauty, with just the right amount of vibrancy and bustle. It’s no wonder that Travel and Leisure ranked Meredith one of the 10 best small towns on the entire East Coast.

Once a popular summer resort town, it is now a year-round playground for tourists and full-time residents alike thanks to an exciting array of options for dining, shopping, outdoor adventures, relaxing spa treatments, and entertainment.

Meredith boasts 4 town beaches, public boat docks, and a shorefront boardwalk, with waterskiing, kayaking, and countless other lake sports close at hand.

With less than 7,000 residents, this Lake Winnipesaukee gem punches well above its weight when it comes to arts and culture. Meredith hosts the Lakes Region’s Fine Arts and Crafts Festival; one of the most respected arts events in the region, and is home to both the Interlakes Summer Theatre and the Winnipesaukee Playhouse, which has a year-round calendar of musicals, comedy shows, and more. There is also an enchanting sculpture walk that winds through town. Meredith’s Hermit Woods Winery & Eatery is on Food and Wine’s “Top 500” list. In addition to incredible wines, they serve up live jazz, folk, blues and more at music events in their Listening Room loft.

For shopping and dining, Mills Falls Marketplace is a popular spot, where a waterfall runs through the middle of a converted antique Mill Building and locals know to make a beeline to Giuseppe’s for delicious pizza and pasta.

If you’re visiting, take a fall foliage tour on the historic Winnipesaukee Scenic Railway, drink local at Twin Barns Brewing or Hermit Woods Winery, or visit one of the numerous ski mountains that are located within a 1 hour drive.

Whether it’s your home or your home away from home, there is always something new to do and explore in Meredith.

When it comes to real estate, Meredith is a town of mostly single family homes, with a handful of condos if you know where to look. Properties here tend to command a premium thanks to Meredith’s famous charm, convenience, and popularity, but the lifestyle here is priceless.
