Learn moreA real, genuinely affluent community
Windham's cited median household income ran approximately $128,000 -- well above the national average -- with over 50% of residents holding a bachelor's degree or higher.
Substantially high housing costs
Windham's average home value ran approximately $810,830, well above both the national comparison figure and New Hampshire's own elevated statewide average.
A real, still-paused Boston commuter-rail plan
New Hampshire's proposed Capitol Corridor rail extension to Boston remains a real, current, PAUSED project -- state funding was halted in December 2022, with no active build timeline as of this pass.
Key takeaways
- Windham's genuine affluence and strong schools are its defining relocation draws.
- Housing costs run substantially above the national and NH statewide averages.
- Movers should not assume an operating Boston commuter-rail connection -- confirm the Capitol Corridor's current status directly.
