advice needed on possible move to vermont/new hampshire
Hi, I'm happy I found this. I currently live in Poughkeepsie New York. Went to visit friends this weekend near Brattleboro VT. The idea of moving got into my head. I've been looking at real estate and info. on different towns online. You can buy a very decent house for the price of a shack here ( not kidding), I'm single, have a 5 yr. old daughter, never lived in a big city, eat out very rarely. Just want access to good schools, library, stores, playgrounds, hiking trails, dance classes, a gym etc.. Can (i hope) afford a house for about 165,000. Been looking at Brattleboro, then some NH towns. Keene sounds like a pretty place with a lot going on. I don't care about nightlife, bars, that kind of thing. I wouldn't want to be too much further from Bratt. area. What about some of the smaller towns near Keene? House prices and taxes seem cheaper. Swanzey, Chesterfield, or Westmoreland, Hinsdale. I have not yet visited any of these towns. Or, any smaller towns in Vermont near Bratt? The idea really excites me. Lived in NY state my whole life. What are my chances of making a living in these areas. Right now I'm mainly doing housecleaning/childcare. Don't have interest in business, retail etc.. I receive survivor's benefits monthly so don't need a full time job, just enough extra to cover the bills. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!
