New Hampshire Explained | Full Map Tour 

I just returned from Vietnam and attended a dance in New Hampshire (Portsmouth). Even though I was the same age as everyone else, I felt out-of-place and was about to leave. A girl then asked me to dance. Then she told me to sit with her. Later she told me when to eat and when to get a drink. She's still bossing me around. She's watching TV now with our grandchildren. We've been married for decades. Thank you, New Hampshire!

Great video, this is probably the most useful one so far...and then you've got lots of more local content to dig into. One pain point I do think is worth noting is how hard it is to go east-west in the state, compared with north-south.

Lived in NH from 1971-2009 when I retired to Florida. I lived in Stratham for 10 years and the rest in Bow. My three children and six grandchildren all live in NH except one. I moved because of the property tax, heating costs and crappy weather. Also, after 40+ years of camping and skiing, my aging body takes the fun out of it. So, I traded months of snow/cold for heat/humidity. Traded skiing and camping for golf and ocean fishing. After 12 years in Florida I still miss NH. But, I visit my family a few weeks every year. Personally, my favorite location is the seacoast Portsmouth, North Hampton, Stratham and Exeter. Really any towns near the 18 miles of NH coastline are great. My second favorite location is the greater North Conway area. Any lakes in the state are great places to live. Of course NH has one of the highest property taxes in the country, heating costs are brutal especially if you buy an older house. High paying jobs have always been hard to come by so lots of people pay the price commuting hours a day and paying for transportation. Lastly, for those that have kids, a lot of NH schools are great but many are deficient. Do your homework!

Northern NH receives well over 100 inches of snow every year. Close to 150 typically

Awesome job. Thank you for the 20,000 foot view. Thanks for producing content on the state. We are looking to move there in about 3-4 years. Would like to buy some land in about two years depending on recession/inflation. My wife and I flew in from Europe to scout it out. Spent a week in Laconia. Got out for three days before catching a bug and staying in for the rest of the week. Did drive to Mt. Washington, Tamworth, Ossipee, Conway, Gorham, Franconia, Plymouth. We liked the lakes region and the colors were absolutely spectacular (Oct 2022). Took a drive out through Dartmouth into Vermont (King Arthur's Bakery). Made our way south and than back east. It felt older and more spread out (remote). Speed limits were nuts. Like 30MPH on an old country road with no towns. Made it fell longer than it was. Spent the second week in Strafford. We made the trek east into Portsmouth. Once that salt air filled out nostrils we knew we had found our toe tag home (Strafford area). If it wasn't for the capital gains we would have to pay on our Colorado rental home, we would move directly to the `Shire. I need to look at the tax code more. There may be away to sell the Colorado home and buy another rental and transfer the capital gains to the new house (rental) in NH.

Finally Bristol is admitted

Hey buddy nice videos ! What’s your opinion of Franklin?

Hi 🙂! I'm enjoying your videos. TYFS!! 👍👍 I have a question: On a property you mentioned unless it was a Competitive Situation. Understanding that a Contract for Sale of a Property is to be presented to the Seller. Buyers interested in Property of same, don't have access to Contracts/Offers to Purchase. What do you consider "A Competitive" Situation? ThnQ 🙂.

One more ? Pls… we like newer communities…any suggestions

Cody…we love Ogunquit Maine…but taxes are too high…without spending a ton of $$ which southern Maine towns would you recommend…as a second home. Thanks

What do you think of the Swanzey area.?
