Amherst is a Southern NH classic — a historic village green, white-clapboard town hall, mature trees, and larger lots than you'll find closer to Manchester or Nashua. The town leans rural-suburban with a strong school district anchored by Souhegan High, and sits within reasonable commuting distance of Nashua, Bedford, Manchester, and even Boston (~60 minutes via Route 101 + I-93).
Souhegan High School consistently ranks among Southern NH's strongest public high schools and is a primary driver of family demand in Amherst. The cooperative serves Amherst and Mont Vernon, giving the school its distinctive small-town character.
The median home price in Amherst NH is approximately $695,000 as of mid-2026. Amherst is one of the most picturesque small towns in Southern NH, with a historic village green and top-rated schools.
Amherst is consistently ranked among Southern NH's most desirable small towns — strong schools (Souhegan High School), historic village center, larger lots, and a manageable commute to Nashua, Manchester, and Bedford.
