We have decided to move to southern NH.
We want to be within a reasonable driving distance of Boston, say 1.5 hours, or close to the Amtrak line for an easy commute into BOS airport.
I've found some basic information from the FreeStateProject.com website, but I'd like to know more about the area.
Basically, where are the good areas to live near? Any areas to avoid due to overpricing or crime rate?
We would like to have (ideally) a small house, under 2,000 sf, on some acreage large enough for informal shooting. Other considerations include availability of shopping, dining, etc.
We prefer the newer style houses over the traditional styles of the area (siding and barn shapes).
We don't have kids, so school districts are not an issue.
All info is appreciated. Thanks.
