About Bow

Bow was incorporated in 1727 and takes its name from the bend, or bow, in the Merrimack River that forms its northeastern boundary. It covers around 28 square miles of Merrimack County and had 8,229 residents at the 2020 census.

It sits immediately outside Concord, which gives it the useful combination of being a couple of minutes from the state capital and not being in it. The Merrimack Station coal plant operated here for decades before closing permanently in September 2025, with plans since to convert the site to clean energy.

Bow is primarily residential and comfortably so. Lots have room, the housing is largely postwar and later, and most of the garage work we do here is about building properly rather than squeezing something in.

Bow properties generally have the space for whatever the household actually needs, which moves the conversation away from what will fit and toward what is worth building.

That usually lands on one of two things. Either a detached two or three car structure sited where it works rather than where there happens to be a gap, or an attached addition with direct entry into the house, which on a Merrimack Valley winter morning is worth more than it sounds.

Where the lot slopes toward the river side of town, drainage gets a closer look. Elsewhere it is about sizing the bays properly, getting the height for overhead storage, and deciding whether the roof structure should be framed to carry a loft later.

Next Door To The Capital

What Bow Homeowners Ask For

Two bays plus depth

Room for both vehicles and for the bench, the freezer and the equipment that otherwise fills a basement.

Direct entry from the house

Where the layout allows an attached build, walking straight into a mud room saves a daily crossing of an icy yard.

Overhead storage height

Extra ceiling height is inexpensive during the build and impossible to add afterward. It is the most requested change once people think about it.

A frame that could take a loft

Even without finishing a second floor now, building the structure so it could carry one keeps the option cheap.
