This channel is all about moving to and learning about the towns of Southern Maine and Seacoast New Hampshire. As a local resident a real estate agent, I truly love living on the Seacoast, and couldn't imagine anywhere else I'd rather be. On this youtube channel, my goal is to introduce you to the different towns and areas of both Seacoast New Hampshire and Southern Maine so that you can learn about the pros and cons, cost of living, and other important factors when considering a move. If you have any further questions that can't be answered by this channel, PLEASE don't hesitate to reach out directly to me. My e-mail is cam.avery@livetheseacoasthomes.com or text: 207-360-4420 do reach out directly. I look forward to helping you learn more about the area, and maybe even one day helping you to re-locate to the area! Thanks for checking out the channel, and be sure to subscribe!
Why would i Wanna move to Northern New England .... Hella Cold in the Winta's. sht loads of freeakin. bugs in the Suumma. I'd Rather be Surfing out west ...
Lived here for 20 years. . . I'm done. . . Black Flies, Summer Traffic, Cost of Living, and endless winters. . . You can gave it back. . . I'm moving back to the South
I live in Manchester and the location is great if you want to have equal time distance between all of the big attractions of New England (coast, mountains, lakes, Boston). I lived on the Seacoast from 2008-2016 and I will say that the Seacoast feels completely different from the rest of NH and is my favorite part of the state. In the summer, it feels like a hub of activity. Off season is just peaceful.
I've lived in NH my whole life I still do I can't afford shit can't find a full-time in Derry that doesn't make me wanna kiss a 12ga and generally wanna kms mass is worse and Maine's probably not much better everything is too much money I just want to die
I appreciate this video, especially if it discourage more rat-race types from moving up here. If I were to make a bumper-sticker, it would say, " Come to NH for a visit & SPEND! SPEND! SPEND! Then go the F HOME!
“Lacking in arts and culture scene…” that’s exactly what u get in such a politically conservative backwater with nothing but hicks, venture capitalists and wealthy retirees… Live “Free” or Die?! Well, we’re not that free in this country anymore, so… 🤔 there’s only one other option!?
In other words, if you like insanely fast muscle cars & plan to move to NH, due to the extreme weather & winter snow storms, you'll be needing "his & her's Trackhawks. Because insanity speeds, snow, & AWD are the recipes for a happy, & dangerously fun life!
I often get the feeling all these "Don't move here videos" I watch are meant to detour Texans and Florida man from coming there and ruining their state too.
I was born in Portsmouth NH and raised in York Maine Graduated from York High in 1977.. the cost of living in my home town has driven most of us away who were so fortunate to grow up there. Extremely sad to see many natives driven out by the cost of taxes. My parents left the area upon retirement due to the unbearable increase in taxes. The cost of living is ginormous! Also to get to York you must travel the I 95 N corridor....a drivers nightmare on the summer. And I 95A to get around York in the summer is a frustrating mess. Most stores in York cater to the summer tourists and prices go sky high for basic needs...gas, milk, water and electricity. Such a beautiful area that the average Joe can barely afford to visit ( check out hotel rates) let alone live there. Another disadvantage are the true natives who have managed to hold on to their way of lives and still live there, don't really appreciate the influx of new dwellers and you will be made well aware of this in their attitudes towards you.
Mainers don’t like people from “away”. People from “away” try really hard to be Mainers. The weather gets used as an excuse for why everyone seems so miserable and closed. I couldn’t get out of there fast enough.
Southern NH is a hellhole, awful roads, awful people, terrible traffic, awful winters, annoying bugs, lousy weather and way too expensive. Ya that bout covers it
Lived here my whole life, this place was turned into a gigantic Disneyland for afluent assholes from other states that make more money. The state sold all of its industry out leaving it so nobody can work here and actually afford to live here. It's going to implode, just watch.
I lived in Portsmouth for about 15 years until the traffic and all the new properties going up drove me out. It used to be fun before it was Taurus season and all year in rush-hour all day. But still fun to visit now that we live out in the woods in crave culture all the time. And by the“woods” I mean the Raymond Epping Lee area. A cultural dead zone if I ever saw one. Well I do miss living in Portsmouth. I do not regret moving because of all the traffic we have now everywhere. Also, you are 100% accurate with the tearing up of side streets. Construction seems perpetual.
Hopefully this winter will be colder and longer, the bugs worse too. Hopefully the legislature doesn't bend anymore than it has. We need a filter to keep this region free of the wonderful qualities from southern New England.
Came to America in 1958 From Europe, But They Wrote Good Will Hunting Twins about my Brother and I so Most Americans can't Do 10 Times what others did...But you'll never be Someone who Had Shots as a Child in Europe or Did you Think 1 in 36 Autistic kids is normal outside of Trump America..Your Inferior Anyway...
Thank you Cam for another great video. I can relate to life in a tourist hot spot as we live near Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The traffic does get old after a while. I would love to convince my wife and son to move to New Hampshire or Maine, but so far they are not on board. There is a question about the area that I have. How welcoming is the residents of people from here in East Tennessee moving into their towns? We keep hearing about the Northeast Shield that is tough to break through. I’m wanting to make the move to New Hampshire or Maine because of how life is there. I’m not wanting to move there to make it like East Tennessee. I love the small townships around the area.
The title of your video is a bit misleading and negative. I am a 67 year old NH native and I just love this state. The state's beauty alone is a great reason to move here. There are plenty of jobs for people willing to work and some of the negatives you mentioned a person will find in any other state. We just ask people moving here to not try to change the state into the state you are escaping from.
Southern NH and southern Maine are very similar in that they are both really northern Massachusetts. That’s where all our states money is and where it all goes. “We did just fine before you got here and we’ll be fine after you leave.” A quote to some Connecticut folks from my dad from deep inland Maine.
Loved living in NH. Nice People, Clean Air, Rural living at it's finest. My late ex-wife and I had a nice home on a nice wooded lot. Wished the house was a little larger, but it was what we could afford. Only move out because wife's grandkids were in SC (definitely DON'T move there). Did the cost/benefit analysis for us before moving there in 2002. For us it was a savings of just of $12,000 a year to move north from SE Mass to SE NH. Not sure how much longer could have lived there--the winters are cold and they get plenty of snow. Those are two things that I really don't like, but there's no changing it either. Accepted it and dealt with while we were there. In a great job now in MA, but would move back, all things being right for me.
And it rains every GOD DAMN Saturday and Sunday all summer. Also rains all winter. Spring is four months of hurricane winds. Do not move here it seriously sucks!
That was brief but well done Cam. I'll sub and watch some more. I'm in the beautiful Berkshires of MA but with family and friends in NH, have thought of moving there, or a condo or something in an unexpensive area, meaning rural not dense city. I gave it a like. 👍
So you grew up here, only for the first 20 yrs or so, in what sounds like the city area, a city boy, then moved on, but yet you think you know it all, and post this video, completely underrating the entire state of NH. 🤔 If the only thing that stood out to you, throughout the entire state, in your 20 years, was the old man on the mountain?? Then you need to get a life. Besides up there in Maine. Maybe it's time you should actually revisit your grassroots and actually see it with a fresh pair of eyes and perspective. Because you obviously didn't get it the first time around.
