A superb neighborhood with unique riverfront attractions.
 
Home to Ivy league school, Dartmouth College and within Grafton County, the bucolic suburb of Hanover is a suitable location for living and working. The neighborhood is also popular for its beautiful natural attraction, the Connecticut River, which cuts across to two parks; Foley and Kendal Riverfront Park.
