About Wakefield

Many Villages,
Many Lakes

Wakefield is one of the most geographically interesting towns in the Lakes Region. With several distinct villages, including Sanbornville, East Wakefield, North Wakefield, and Wakefield Corner, and multiple lakes within its borders, it's a town that genuinely has something different around every corner. Several of those lakes, including Great East Lake and Province Lake, span the New Hampshire and Maine border, giving Wakefield a cross-state character unlike anywhere else in the region.

Great East Lake is the most active of the bunch, known for its boating community, sandy beaches, and long-standing seasonal appeal. Lovell Lake draws buyers who prefer a quieter, more residential atmosphere. Balch Lake, Pine River Pond, and Lake Ivanhoe each have their own loyal followings as well, offering a range of waterfront price points that's hard to match in a single town.

Sanbornville serves as the commercial center of town, with Route 16 running through it and giving easy access north to Conway and south to the Seacoast. For buyers who want genuine multi-lake variety with room to find their own corner of it, Wakefield is worth taking seriously.
