I grew up in NH, lived there for 28 years, then upstate NY for a few years, then Maine for 10. I can say NH, like all of the Northeast is a beautiful place to live if you love the outdoors, winter sports activities, and you can live with mosquitos and black flies in the Summertime. It's a great place to live if you like those things and you can afford it. You need a house with a paved driveway or every Spring you get stuck in the mud. You need an attached garage or you're scraping off ice every morning and having to run your car for 20 minutes before you can leave or your breath will freeze to the inside of the windshield making it impossible to see. If you have a fireplace you can cozy up to a fire on a cold day. These things are expensive anywhere, but they're extremely expensive in NH and ME. Schools are run by towns, and fully funded by towns, so if you have good schools count on at least $10k in annual property taxes. The roads get destroyed every winter from frost heaves and potholes, it's very expensive to maintain the roads. Government there has to spend a lot to maintain the basics, so you get less for your taxes than you might in other areas because of this. Heating your home is almost always done with oil-fired boilers, in the cold months expect to spend at least $1000 per month heating your home. It's not a bad place, like I said, if you have the money to be able to afford it. I live in GA now, while I love and miss the beauty of NH, I don't see me ever moving back.

I moved here from San Diego two years ago. It’s really beautiful here. Winters are long and can be brutal, last March where I live we had 4ft of snow dumped on us. If you’re from a warmer climate you’ll need to be prepared, we have a whole house generator and I’m glad for it since we lost power for a few days during said snow storm. There isn’t much to do here unless you’re into the outdoors. Houses are also fairly hard to find, we managed to find a place with 22 acres but finding places with acreage now is tough. We also pay about 7k a year in property taxes. We manage fine because my husband still works remotely from his same company in California. It’s a great place if you love all things outdoors and winter activities. If you hate that, you won’t like it here.

NH has a high rooms and meals tax and in the top states in property tax. It does tax interest and dividends on investments.

The winters are horrible which makes it one of the worst places to move to. People underestimate how happy or miserable the weather can make you. This is coming from someone who grew up in the NE as well and was so sick of the grey skies, cold and snow that I jumped at the chance to move to LA when I could. The problem with 4 seasons in much of the NE is they aren't really "equal" as far as weather, you can still get snow in the late fall and early spring, winter never lasts just 4 months. Moving to southern CA and the consistent sunshine has done wonders for my mental health. I'll never move back to the cold.

It can snow anytime between October and April but the winters are not as harsh as others make it out to be. Constitutional carry state (no concealed carry permit required). Fiber internet available in a lot of towns. Also, buy a generator if you move here. 🙂

How do they get tax without any state tax? LAND TAX….in Claremont NH which was a run down place our land tax for our home was almost $800 a month…almost more than the mortgage. So if you want to move there make sure you look into towns with the lowest property taxes. Plus get a huge snow blower and a huge whole house generator.

Buffalo has a 58% historical chance of a white Christmas, while Concord's probability is closer to 70%. Plus I used to live out in western NY and yeah, it can snow a lot but half the time there's nothing on the ground except maybe in the Tug Hill plateau. The snow is fluffy and lacks the density of New England snow, so it melts more quickly. That's because less heat of fusion (sunlight) is needed to melt the fluffier snow. On balance there's not a lot of difference between the two places, but for snow cover that's reliable I would give central NH the edge, esp. in the hills where I now live.

I lived in downtown Nashua for 4 years. It was fantastic. That was in the late 90’s tho. I have no idea how prices are now

No income tax and no sales tax more than makes up for the other expenses. Look at the ratings. NH always finishes near the bottom of total taxes paid. Usually only beaten by Alaska that gets oil subsidies. In every survey of quality of life, healthcare, education etc NH ranks in the top 5. Crime rate almost non-existent outside Manchester and Nashua. If you don’t want to pay high real estate taxes….then buy a smaller house. Smaller house, less heating, less maintenance less taxes. How much do you Southerners pay for AC from March to October? In NH I use AC maybe 4 or 5 days a year. Heating sure…you want you big house at 75 degrees you’re gonna pay. Smaller house 70 degrees and I have natural gas … I pay about $100 a month. You want a Mc Mansion, then be prepared to pay. Remember, the vast majority of those taxes stay in YOUR town not shipped off to some giant bureaucracy. Our legislature only meets 3 months a year and they’re paid $100 plus mileage, so the incentive to be a “professional” politician isn’t there. You have the best of 4 seasons here. I’m an hour from the ocean, 1.5 hours from Boston, I live in the mountains, skiing is 30 from the time I leave the house. Snowmobiling, ice fishing, you name it. Every season has its adventures. Even with our long winters our roads put Massachusetts’s to shame. Their roads…SUK! Sure, you live on a rural dirt road be prepared for mud season. Other than that our roads are great because YOUR taxes fix YOUR roads not someone else’s. No mater how cold it is outside I just out on another layer and I’m toasty. 90 degrees and 90% humidity? I don’t care what you do you’re not comfortable unless you’re trapped in the house with AC. No place is perfect, and personal preference is always key, but there is a reason we have a housing shortage and people are pouring into the state. Quality of life matters

NH has the best State government. It always rated as one of the best States to live or have a business.

You got that right. I’ll never even waste my time visiting.

There are many other places though that DO have "harsh winters". But it also has the other seasons (in spite of many of the comments). Fall used to be stunning, but the past handful of years, not so much. But the thing about NH's beauty and different types of beauty, is that you can see them ALL in a single day if you like. They are within easy driving distances. PROPERTY TAXES SUCK though. Yes, there are other offsets for that, but in some places the property taxes actually drive people out of their homes. It is by far my only real complaint about NH.... aside from people flooding in from "other places" and trying to turn it into the crap holes they LEFT. Stop it.

So since the "old man in the mountain" fell is he still the state symbol?

I live here. I thought his assessment was quite fair.

If you're serious about moving to New Hampshire you better have money. Especially, if you want to live on or near the seacoast, which is beautiful, but expensive. To be clear, all of Southern New Hampshire is expensive because of its proximity to Boston and the rest of Massachusetts. As a result, if you don't make over 100 thousand dollars a year, you can't afford to live here. In fact, with rising interest rates on mortgages and the price of homes on the rise as well, you really need an average annual household income of 125 to 150 thousand dollars a year. Which means both Mom and Dad better have good jobs, because raising a family and buying a house in the Granite State isn't cheap!

I live in southern New Hampshire an hour north of Boston. I go to Massachusetts about once a year.

New Hampshire and Maine are the original America; the way people wanna live out here is different from anywhere else. New England really lives up to the "Live and let live" attitude. For the most part, nobody cares who you are or what you do so long as you mind your own business, are polite, and you don't try to change the way things operate. Yankees really hold their attitude and way of life dear, especially in New Hampshire, since it's the most conservative state in New England. New Hampshire is seriously amazing though, every region has it's own distinct beauty, the people are so friendly, it's a beautiful political system, and it holds the spirit of the constitution dearly. If you're a libertarian, it's also the biggest stronghold for your party.

Question about property tax. I currently live in CA and will be retiring in a few years from my day job and will be leaving CA. My property taxes here are ridiculous. What are high property taxes in NH like?

Too expensive.

NH is the best firearms laws in the country from a gun owners POV. Other than that......real estate tax is insane, home prices are way too high, as is the snow, as are too many of the relocated ex-MA residents, other than that go for it. Not me, I need more sun & warmth.

They need to build up the south more, like Nashua and manchester. At least Salem has Tuscan village going up. But those are just sort of the over saturated high-end apartments. I think it's best to build on what's already built on. And try and preserve the more rural areas.

I left Berlin NH in 82 and haven't regretted it yet ! If your gay or a freak , you'll love it in NH.

NH is fun, but it’s winters are very harsh and gloomy. NH also has mud season, and that can be extremely tough to get through as a resident, that outsiders don’t realize. While NH is a great place to visit, it’s difficult to find work, compared to a place like MA, RI, or CT. The northern New England states are the boonies, and many people from MA moved to southern NH, and they have to commute into Boston or the Boston area daily, and that traffic blows! If you are a Republican, then central and norther NH is for you politically, as those are the desirable places for conservatives and it’s definitely laws in NH are also a lot more relaxed, so if you are into guns, NH is a safe state for now, but eventually the liberals will change that. There is a housing crisis in NH, and home prices and rents are expensive. It also is has one of the highest rate of vacation homes, at 10.4%, with mainly boomers from the Boston area. Their property taxes are sky high, as they get much of their property taxes from people with vacation homes, rather than burdening residents with income taxes or sales taxes. So, while NH is a wonderful state to visit, it can get really lonely up there when it’s not vacation season.
