Hampstead is a nice town, great quality of life. Schools feed into Pinkerton Academy. However, I wouldn't in a million years consider Main Street in Hampstead to be walkable though. And bikable only by older teens or adults. No way would I want to see middle schoolers or younger pedaling along the hilly, curvy road that the Town Hall, etc. is on. Rte 121 is well-traveled, and while there is a 30 mph speed limit in the area, most traffic travels much faster. There is a corner/general store, and as BN mentions some restaurants (along Rte 111 for most of the commercial restaurants, gas stations, etc). That's not walkable either...
when I said walkable, I meant it's easily walked. There are limited sidewalks. HOWEVER, the town is currently under study to determine how much it will cost and how much they can spend to put sidewalks the length of Main St.
What sort of info are you looking for about Hampstead? Schools? Real estate stats? Upcoming new construction (whether commercial or residential)? Have you visited Hampstead, or only just looking online at this time? Tell us why you're looking at Hampstead, and what you already know about the town, and maybe some of us can confirm what you've already been told...

Couple good restaurants in the area, best con queso dip in NH is from Hampsteads Little mexico, but beware of everything else on the menu. haha
relatively close to salem and MA border AKA more dining options and shopping malls.
Not a bad town in NH, and Pinkerton HIgh school is one of the biggest private schools in the nation. sports powerhouse, and always gets good reviews from the state. THIS IS COMING FROM A RIVAL, THAT WAS BROUGHT UP TO DESPISE ANYTHING PINKERTON! haha
Good luck, and hope you enjoy sunset lake.
