I currently live in Newbury and absolutely love it. It’s very agriculturally based, and there’s definitely a small village-like feel. I love walking to the post-office, village store, and library on my days off, and the green in front of the elementary school is the center of town. I work at a local business and everyone makes an effort to help out at a community level. The surrounding towns are somewhat economically depressed and you’ll have to go to Woodsville (15 mins) for any big shopping. There’s very limited public transportation. The schools are decent from what I hear, and Newbury Elementary is rated well. Big art scene. Lots of overlap with community events in Bradford as well. Very happy to have ended up here!
