The CDP is bordered to the northeast by the town of Stratham and to the east by New Hampshire Route 101, Dearborn Brook, and New Hampshire Route 88 (Holland Way and Hampton Falls Road). The southern edge of the CDP is an unnamed brook and the Exeter River. The western border of the CDP follows the Pan Am Railways line and the Little River to Colcord Pond. The northern border follows Allard Street and Epping Road (New Hampshire Route 27), passes through woodlands to Oak Street Extension, then follows Forest Street, Wadleigh Street, Salem Street, the Pan Am Railways line again, and Norris Brook to the Squamscott River, which it follows north to the Stratham town line.
