Manchester/Bedford/Amherst and ? (Goffstown, Weare: land, best, directions)

[Sam'sDad]

Greetings,

I'm hoping to land a great job in Manchester and would appreciate recommendations for the best nearby town in which to raise three kids. One loves the arts, the other wants to play every sport, and the the third is ..... a third and happy with most everything.

We ski extensively (farther north in NH along 93), love to bike, and have access to "culture."

Who can get us started looking in the right directions?

Thanks!

Most will tell you Bedford but I would say New Boston, Goffstown, Weare. They are just beyond "expensive getting very big and busy" Bedford, and are great communities for raising kids in the old New England small town tradition. Also, you would be close to skiing at Pat's Peak and Crotched Mountain; short drive.
