Hello I've been reading replies and threads. First of all if I make mistake here I would like to announce I am not perfect. Also I provided general information as a help and guide.
I think NH is very reasonable coming form MA a century ago
since I have more experience with North of Concord I will try and keep comments to that
..Holderness, NH it is 45 mintues from Concord, NH about 45 minutes to Littleton..From my research Holderness has low taxes currently $12.20 per 1000 and home prices are manageable where rmy reviews of other low tax towns I think the home prices are really high. the town offers a $500 tax credit off your taxes if you are a veteran (designated by certain wars ) also as a resident you have access to a private beach that is monitored for residents only, it is on Big Squam it is gorgeous and is never crowded. Holderness Central School pre-school through 8 offers top notch education and many of the graduates are admitted to private schools on scholarships. Allof the towns around Holderness also referred to as Pemi-Baker Area are lovely and all offer lots and lots of outdoor activites mentioned by others in this thread. I concur with others that other fees are really no big deal. The only hidden tax if you want to call it that is when you buy or sell a house the state imposes a fee of .75 on a per $100 to both buyer and seller. If you have any other questions feel free to PM me ...
