I suspect it was left intentionally vague, except that it's somewhere in Upstate New York. Honestly, from the very onset of the North Hampton arc, not much makes sense. They left New York City during winter, and by the time they reach the which is clearly located near mountains, it's already warm weather. Unlike the non-fictional Northampton, Massachusetts where the traditional TMNT farm story arcs took place, North Hampton appears entirely fictional, as there is no place by that name in the state of New York. It also does not even seem to be inspired by any real location in New York. There are two places in the state called Northampton&mdash;one is a census-designated place in Suffolk County, Long Island (far from Upstate), and the other is a town in Fulton County, Upstate, which at least is located in the Adirondack Mountains, but even that is home to tens of thousands of people. The fictional North Hampton has the feel of being at the edge of the world where even human neighbors are extremely few, even "in town."

Over all, the impression I get is, the writers wanted North Hampton to vaguely represent someplace in the remote countryside in the same way the fictional city blocks in the city, recycled episode after episode, vaguely represent nearly all of New York City. Have you noticed how wildly fictionalized maps are whenever they appear in scenes in this series? New York City is not portrayed as a city of five boroughs, but as an amorphous big city taking on any inconsistently portrayed shape the writers wish. Locations in this series are portrayed as consistently as Raphael's magical moving bedroom.



And then there's the TARDIS-like ...
