Living in & buying/selling in Windham, NH
Just north of Salem on I-93 — ponds, rail trail and wooded lots.
Windham, briefly
Windham sits just north of Salem, with one I-93 interchange — Exit 3 — and NH Route 111 crossing the town. Cobbetts Pond and Canobie Lake are on its map, and the Windham Rail Trail runs north into Derry.
For buyers it is a town of single-family homes on larger lots, within a short drive of the Massachusetts line.
Windham, this week
Live from public sources and refreshed every week. When a town has no separate series, the panel shows county figures and says so.
What the housing stock looks like
Windham is predominantly single-family: colonials on larger lots, newer subdivisions, homes on and near Cobbetts Pond and Canobie Lake, and some condominium and townhouse communities.
Private wells and septic systems are common, so we confirm both before an offer. On taxes: New Hampshire has no general sales tax and no state income tax on wages, but relies more on local property taxes — compare the actual tax bill on any home. If you work in Massachusetts, Massachusetts generally taxes the wages you earn there.

Answered plainly
Does New Hampshire have a sales tax or income tax?
New Hampshire has no general sales tax and no state income tax on wages, and its interest-and-dividends tax was repealed for tax periods beginning in 2025. Property-tax rates are generally higher than in many nearby Massachusetts towns, so always compare the actual tax bill. If you work in Massachusetts, ask a tax professional how your wages are taxed.
