LIVING HERE IN PORTSMOUTH

Portsmouth truly is the place to have it all: situated on the northern stretch of America's smallest seacoast--just 13 miles long--Portsmouth has been coined as the Cambridge of Boston and labeled one of the most livable and dynamic small cities in the country.

Just under 21,000 in population, citizens enjoy small town charm with urban convenience in the hub of a growing metropolitan region--all just minutes from the beach and a short drive to the White Mountains. Whether you're strolling along Strawberry Banke, watching indie films at the Music Hall, kayaking the 3rd fastest-flowing river in the world or biking through seacoast routes, you'll find adventure in the old salty town of Portsmouth. As a thriving multi-cultural hub, Portsmouth offers a wide array of restaurants, coffee shops and bars to choose from and ongoing events throughout the year. Safe streets and great school systems make Portsmouth a perfect place to raise a family.

And did we mention the surf (and yes, you can surf in New Hampshire), skateboarding and riding? Hit up Rye skatepark or the handful of resorts that exist within just an hour's drive. And take heed: those nor'easters bring good surf. Many Circus employees take advantage of the flex time by hitting dawn patrol and riding first tracks on the hill or watching the sun rise while grabbing a few good rides in the morning before coming in to work. The grass really is greener in Portsmouth since it's all pretty much right in your backyard. Spend some time in Portsmouth and you'll see the big picture.
