I’m from Texas and been in NH two years now. It is a walk in the park. Summers here are mild compared to Texas dry heat, Fall is my favorite season and I prefer cold over heat so the winters don’t bother me. Very beautiful state and yes I’m already complaining about the Mass drivers lol. Love New England and all the history, scenery and the way they talk here is hilarious!

The Old Man was hardly "all we had". As noted, we have no income tax. We have no sales tax. We have no seat belt law {for adults}. We have no helmet law. We have no mandatory motor vehicle insurance. We have the oldest {100 years} motorcycle rally in the world. We have the White Mountains. We have Lake Winnipesaukee. We have the First in the Nation Primary. And yes, we have Portsmouth. And you're way off about the percentage of Ma$$holes here too. When you get away from the Seacoast and the Lakes region, where the affluent folks from below us have moved to in droves, most everybody is a native or at least a large percentage are. And for those who don't know, we don't even get winter now until January, so you're looking at MAYBE 12 weeks tops. Lastly, as a former Naples {Fl.} resident, I can tell you that a blizzard will never put your house three blocks away like a hurricane will. There's New Hampshire and then there's everywhere else!

We're perfectly situated to access EVERYTHING this gorgeous state has to offer. We're about an hour from Mt. Washington and North Conway for mountains, hikes, outlet factory shopping (and a stones throw from Fryeburg Fair, lol) in the North and the Seacoast with beautiful beaches, shopping and dining options in the southern part of the state while AT THE SAME TIME enjoying gorgeous scenery, abundance of Lakes, farm to table cooking, farmers markets and fresh air!

Native New Yorker here but NH has been our "home-away-from-home-state" and favorite vacation destination for 30-some-odd years now. Nashua's still a pretty town and has my favorite Barnes & Noble on the corner where the turkey-centric restaurant---I forget the name---used to be, oh, maybe 35 years ago? We make sure never to miss Keene, the Lakes region and Hampton Beach when we're up there and, when I can persuade my better half, who sometimes suffers from what she calls "car coma", that the drive is worth it from our usual base of operations in Manchester, we also like to make it to the White Mountains. Both sides of the Kancamagus Pass, Lincoln in the west and Conway/North Conway to the east. And the 34 mile drive between them on the Pass road is beautiful, especially in the autumn. Even if you don't plan to move there, I highly recommend the Granite State as a vacation destination.

Interesting how this KZfaq algorithm works... Was born, raised and educated in NH, then moved away, saw the world... now retired and moved back... part time anyway. Things you should know if you decide to live here... like all of New England, for half the year the weather stinks. You better have some indoor hobbies. Away from the seacoast and north of Concord there is virtually no economy... so if you want to settle there you better come with money 'cause you're not going to make any. Yes, there is no sales or income tax, but in many places property taxes are crippling... and NH will "fee" you to death. I also have a home in neighboring MA and in comparing the cost of living, it's pretty much a wash between the two places. The seacoast and lakes region are nice, however, real estate prices have exceeded what mere mortals can afford. Recently I watched a 900 sq ft, rotten, tear-down cottage across the lake from me go for half a million... the new owner then bulldozed it, put up a mc-mansion valued at well over a million dollars... and I don't live on one of the big lakes... that is what is happening in NH and has been for some time. I feel lucky as I got in under the wire... the value of my property has doubled in a few short years... and I get 2 or 3 inquiries a month on if I want to sell it... unfortunately property taxes have kept pace. Today, I could not afford to buy the place I live in. Although it has the reputation of being politically conservative, NH politics are quite diverse, but can be extreme... consider that when starting up a conversation with a stranger. As I wrote earlier I also have a house in MA... which has a reputation for being liberal... personally I don't sense a big difference between the two states... I know both some radical liberals in NH and very vocal Trump thumpers in MA. Big gun culture in NH. Socially NH is closed off... it will take you a while to know your neighbors and be accepted... but when you're in, you're in. So, if you decide to move to NH... welcome and enjoy... just stay off my lawn.

Yeah, I'm one of those from Massachusetts that has moved to New Hampshire. Now living in Concord. I love it up here for the beauty and nostalgia. While the seacoast is fine there is plenty to do in the interior too. I often drive up to the White Mountains for the day. Walk the Flume Gorge or drive down the Kanc. Take the Cog up Mount Washington or see the Polar Caves or Lost River gorge. I've visited Littleton then driven down the beautiful 302 and route 10 corridor. Some days I'll visit Meredith and do Harts Turkey Farm then Fun Spot and Kellerhaus (best ice cream I've yet to find in New England. Good candy too.) I've taken the Winnipesaukee cruise to Wolfeboro and seen Castle In the Clouds. Some days I drive down to Peterborough and Keene. I've made a hobby out of searching for and walking on covered bridges. There is lots to do away from the Coast.

@douglasdea637 9 күн бұрын

@@CPRPrepCourses There are several New Hampshire towns I would enjoy living in. In no particular order: Meredith is in the beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee area and is sometimes called the best town of NH. Perhaps if I had unlimited choice I would choose that. New London is small and a bit out-of-the-way but a lovely town with a college. I've long wondered what living there would be like. Henniker is another small and out-of-the-way lovely town with a college that I like. My family owns a piece of property there on a pond so I have many fond memories of it. Lincoln I travel through several times a year and it seems quite nice. The Kanc is considered one of the top 20 beautiful drives in America. Wouldn't mind living there for a while. Littleton is nice with one of the best Main streets in the US, or so I've heard. I'm not sure how rough it is living north of the Whites. Conway is also beautiful and has much going for it. I try to get to it a couple times each year. Peterborough is nice and I try to get to it several times a year, mostly for the bookstore and several restaurants I like. There's much of the state that I haven't visited but hope to. That's one of the nice things about it, every road is worth driving down and every town is worth looking at. If, like me, you enjoy trees and rivers and lakes and hills then NH has endless joys to find. I rather like the small, quaint towns, places that haven't changed much in 50 years. One of the good things about living in Concord is that it is central with several highways to easily access the rest of the state.

Spent only 5 years living in NH however has left me with good feelings about the area. Only left as I was offered a job in Scotland. Spent 10 years there.

They tend to mind their own business yet will help you. They can be abrupt too . New Hampshire people don’t like to drive far. It’s a big deal to go anywhere , like it’s an ordeal . They don’t like Boston which makes me crazy . The towns are picturesque with shops and cafes. New Hampshire pies are the best in the US. Their cars are always dirty because of weather , it rains a lot. It is still cold in the month of May. They don’t make good calamari in New England , not close to the west. If I tell people I live out west and say my roots are in New England, then I’m one of them . New Hampshire people are book smart. New Hampshire people will probably talk about the old man in the mountain till the end of time . God Bless New Hampshire.

To be perfectly honest, it took about 40 years for Southern New Hampshire to be taken over by people from Massachusetts. However, the invasion of our communities in the southern part of the state has made it virtually impossible for those of us who grew up here to stay here. The cost of living is out of control and many of my friends and family members have left New Hampshire because it's just too expensive. The cost of housing is the biggest problem, but Electric Rates and Property Tax Rates are some of the highest in the country, and the cost for Home Heating Oil or Liquid Propane in the winter is outrageous, which is why so many people still use Wood Stoves and Pellet Stoves for heat. The winter weather is no joke up here and you need to heat your home for about 6 months out of the year, which isn't cheap! Unfortunately, New Hampshire is just not affordable for most people anymore, which is why so many young people are leaving. It's a huge problem that doesn't get discussed or talked about by politicians or the media, but New Hampshire is becoming one of the oldest states in America. It seems like only old people can afford to live here, because they bought houses and started businesses back in the 1960's, 1970's, and even the early 1980's when it was much more affordable. That's not the case these days, which is very sad.

I moved here from TN and enjoy the change so far. I would not recommend moving here unless you have a good-paying job, it is a very expensive place to live in comparison to other states, especially southern states. The whole tax-free BS is a lie, the state makes up for it in property taxes, registration fees, tolls, etc. My property taxes went from 1200 a year in TN to 7,000 in the central NH area. Registration fees went from 28 bucks a year for my truck, to about 400 a year for a 5-year-old truck as an example! Overall, I have liked the change and the culture, food, and good laws in the state make up for it. Especially the beauty of the state. All in all, I think NH is a great place to live, but you need to make an informed decision before moving and prepare to pay a lot more for things here. Also, it's still heaven on earth compared to the dump known as Massachusetts.

Lol I moved to NH 10 years ago ffrom southern New England and I love it up here. However, the seacoast is the one part of the state I personally think is NOT worth moving to. Expensive, full of tourists from MA 24/7, crowded, and kind of ritzy/yuppie. Rural parts of the lakes region and or the mountains are much more laid back and have a cheaper cost of living, quieter and more of the "good life". Same as Maine, beautiful state, but the southwestern seacoast portion is the one part I'd never live, I'd rather be in the belgrade lakes region or even paper country. There's a reason everyone from the rest of ME/NH call that seacoast region you're referring to "northern Mass". If I want to visit the seacoast it's less than an hour drive which is great, there certainly is a charm to that part of the state and it's great to visit, but I would never want to be immersed in it permanently. There are two totally different lifestyles in these states, seacoast and the rest of the state. Sorry you think the good parts of the state aren't worth living in, Lol you can keep it, I'll just drop by once in a while

I lived in NH for 15 years. In Salem, on the border of MA. Now I live in Arizona. Why? Live Free or Die is a joke, NH is a police state, drive 1 mph over the speed limit and a local/yoko cop literally roars out from behind a tree. Road blocks for DWI everywhere but I belive they had to stop that. Always asking "where are you going, where have you been"...this is Live Free Or Die? No sales tax, but prices are higher for many goods. I used to go to Mass to buy certain items they would be cheaper with the sales tax. And there were few if any good paying jobs. Most of my opportunities as a software consultant were in Mass, so I had to pay Mass income tax...and that was still a better deal than working in NH at a much lower pay rate. The big killer is property taxes, holy moly. The taxes on my old house are currently just under $9,000.00. In Arizona my house, about the same size but not as much land, are $1300. I've left out the bitter cold most of the year, black flies (absolute killer), mosquitos (at least the scorpions are not flying around in massive quantities heh), blasts of snow and lots of snow shoveling, rain all the time otherwise, humid summers, twisty turning two lane roads, tailgaiters, ground pollution (NH was a burial ground for waste from Mass towns Lowell, Lawrence, Haverhill mills), I could go on but thatz enough for now I think heh

One of the reasons we hate massholes is they come up to the mountains and buy up all the houses to turn into air b&b's. They massed up the housing market. The locals are running out of places to live and if you're lucky enough to find a long term rental it's beyond expensive. I've been a general contractor my whole life. Over the past 10 years, 100% of my contracts have been massholes renovating single family homes they bought for short term rentals OR maintenance on 2nd, 3rd, 4th homes that are vacant 99% of the time. They have always been coming here but it has only been a problem for the past 10 years or so. They used to either buy a condo OR buy land and build a mansion so it was great for the local economy. Now, there are no condos for sale and all the land has been built on so they buy the "local houses". We have been priced out of the market. If you want to vacation here, go hiking, ski etc....PLEASE DO! We rely on it! Just get a hotel room or something. If you squeeze all the locals out who's going to run the town while you're here? Be respectful please

But holy hell/ the real estate prices in NH are the same as Seattle!! And a basic retail or fast food place starts at $20.00/ hour here. What the heck!!?

Living in Manch, the locals take off to beach(takes 40mins+) and then head home. They may go to the Whites or go to Winni or to Boston all about 1hr give or take.. The price of houses on the Seacoast is nuts and you add the high property tax, that is why many prefer not to live but to visit seacoast. Thx

Lived in NH for 21 years and during that period we paid over $450K in property tax - most of which went to the local school district. That is equivalent to buying a second home which you never get to visit! During this 21 year period the number of student attending K-12 dropped by > 50%. SAT scores dropped consistently over the 21 year period. SO the only tangible thing I can see which taxes paid for was snow plowing. Honestly, while we loved the rural life in NH we were able to significantly upgrade our quality of life by moving to rural Alabama. Exchanged a McMansion and 7 acres for a very nice ranch, guest house, pool and 107 acres plus property tax of ~5% of NH. There is a 10% sales tax but after our NH experience we learned the beauty of a sales tax - everyone pays, not just property owners and there is no need for snow plowing!

I grew up in Portsmouth in the 60s through early 80’s. One of my favorite stories that summarizes the attitude of NH vs MA involves the state liquor store at the Portsmouth traffic circle. The retail cost of liquor at the NH state liquor store was less than what it was wholesale in Taxachusetts so MA bar owners would drive up to Portsmouth and fill their trunks. The MA state police started to send undercover officers to write down license plates and phone that information to cops who would intercept them once they crossed into MA. Well, the NH governor got wind of this and had the MA cops arrested. My understanding is that it was not a “polite” arrest. After that, cooperation between the state was nonexistent. Got a ticket in MA? No problem, just don’t get caught driving there.

I'm curious about northern New Hampshire for retirement in the next 10 years. I know it gets cold up there, but I'm not bothered by the cold, I'm much more bothered by the heat. I can deal with 82 and humid, but not 95 and humid. I've been curious about the Berlin area. I'm currently outside of the D.C. area in a somewhat rural VA area and not too keen on staying here in retirement as things are starting to get too close to my home. I'm planning on leaving VA, I just don't know with 100% certainty where yet.

If you live in NH dont work in Maine because you will get taxed on both incomes if you have a married partner and are filing jointly. And if you work in maine and sell your house and buy another house in NH you have pay maine state tax on the profit of your house. So I hope he tells you what they dont tell you Maine when you live in NH and work in Maine.

"Tax Free" means no sales or income tax, you pay for it in other ways. Property taxes are astronomic as are electricity rates. NH is only "tax free" if you don't live there. And while Mass drivers are bad, try Rome sometime, Boston is downright genteel by comparison.

I'm from the region, a true New England native, and while I can't speak for your experience, I feel your underrating NH. I live in southern NH, off the grid, and loving it. NH has MUCH to offer outside and away from more Metropolitan areas or the cities. I grew up in the boondocks, and I still live in the boondocks. It's a whole different world from your city lifestyle and perspective. Understand that. What you choose to underrate, I consider to be God's country. I think before posting a video like this, you would have had to experience ALL of NH, away from the city life, and not just cherry pick it. This video does no justice at all for the state of NH, as a whole, and is what I consider to be misinformation led by only one person's point of view, which happens to be a poor example. I'm 55 year old, NE native, born and raised here. You have it all wrong kid.

NH is expensive the utilities and heating fuel are insane we have ticks, and plenty of mosquitoes and LOW paying jobs freezing cold in the winter and make sure you have a good snow shovel. Southern NH sucks if you got hit by a car people wouldn't stop to help they would back up and run over you again. We have atv trails in northern NH and the people from MA and southern NH ruin it for the responsible people who ride. I have lived here all my life and it never changes except that the politicians are sending welfare people to the Northern part of the state so the rest of NH doesn't see that there is a lot of poverty in NH. There is also tons of drugs in NH and there is nothing in NH to clean that up

Grew up in MA, lived 7 years in ME, lived in US south and overseas. Maine was my favorite--best of all worlds! Now 23 years in NH and have regretted it almost from year one but not financially able to relocate. Sure there is beautiful scenery, but many states have that. The best thing about NH is the the people who come from somewhere else or first generation kids. I believe the majority of people are kind and caring, but town meetings, etc. help ensure self-interested bullies rule. For too many folks in NH, live "free" or die means means "free" of responsibility for anyone but yourself--absolutely the most selfish minded culture of all the NE states. LOL, the only point of your video I disagree with is about MA drivers. Sure, they are urban drivers, but try metro Atlanta and you'll soon be missing Storrow Drive. And, a local Chevy truck on a NH country lane is the most dangerous vehicle on the road. Sadly, it will never feel like home.

My father lived in Newcastle for the last 8 or 9 days of his life. He loved Maine, but needed to be closer to Boston for work. He said to me about a year before he died, that he regretted moving there because they were the unfriendliest people he'd ever met. He grew up and lived most of his life in or within an hour of NYC. Also the New Hampshire state government is one of the most dysfunctional in the US. The size of the legislature is larger than California Another thing is that the coast is a very expensive to live. Lastly, when he died I had to deal with his estate. There was an issue with probate. I called the judge and at one point he said to me; what do you expect? Do you want me to have an office covered in law books? Then I called up his state representative and he said; I've lived here my entire life and I don't understand much of what goes on here.
