Discover Andover, NH – Community, Landscape, and Infrastructure

Nestled in the heart of Merrimack County, Andover, New Hampshire is a quintessential small New England town known for its historic roots, scenic beauty, and strong sense of community. With a population of just over 2,300 residents, Andover balances its rural charm with essential access to the broader Central New Hampshire region. Surrounded by lush woodlands, rolling hills, rivers, and classic colonial architecture, the town offers a peaceful environment ideal for families, local businesses, contractors, and seasonal residents alike.

Geography and Natural Appeal

Andover spans approximately 41 square miles and features prominent natural assets including the Blackwater River, Highland Lake, and the peaks of Ragged Mountain. The town’s geography supports a mix of residential neighborhoods, working farms, and undeveloped forest lands, making it a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, snowmobilers, hikers, and seasonal vacationers. Mount Kearsarge is just a short drive away, and the Northern Rail Trail—a multi-use trail that runs through the heart of Andover—brings year-round visitors and recreationists to the area.

Accessibility and Highways

Andover’s central location along U.S. Route 4 and NH Route 11 provides easy access to major surrounding towns such as Franklin, Danbury, Salisbury, and New London. Route 4 serves as a vital east-west corridor through town, linking residents to Interstate 89 in the west and Interstate 93 in the east. This accessibility supports regular traffic from contractors, commuters, and seasonal property owners traveling between the Lakes Region and southern New Hampshire.

Public roads in Andover are well maintained but include a combination of paved and gravel routes, particularly in rural neighborhoods. The town’s Department of Public Works regularly partners with local contractors on snow removal, drainage improvement, and paving projects—many of which require heavy machinery and specialized equipment.

Population and Community Character

The population in Andover swells modestly during summer and fall seasons due to its appeal to second-home owners and tourists drawn to Highland Lake and surrounding trails. However, the majority of residents are year-round homeowners with ties to agriculture, trades, education, and municipal services. Community activities center around the Andover Historical Society, Proctor Academy (a private boarding school with a large campus and influence), and local recreational programs.

This community-based atmosphere also fosters steady demand for landscaping, home improvement, and small-scale construction work. Homeowners often engage in DIY projects, while small contractors serve the needs of nearby municipalities, schools, and commercial operations.

Infrastructure and Development Trends

Andover has seen modest but steady development in recent years. New home construction, additions to historical homes, and expansion of utility services have led to an increase in permit applications and infrastructure projects. Septic installations, road improvements, lot clearing, and foundation work are frequent needs in the area.

With new builds and ongoing repairs across a landscape that includes both ledge and loamy soil, contractors and property owners require equipment such as mini excavators, trenchers, compactors, and aerial lifts. The town’s small-scale, decentralized layout also makes compact, trailer-ready equipment ideal for job sites.
