I am not sure how to explain the feel of a traditional New England town, but I know when I see it. It speaks Autumn to me. Ya'll probably know what it is better then I, seeing how I never lived in New England, but always wanted to Are there any charming little New England towns in NH?

There are a billion small, traditional towns in NH. We all have our favorites, but almost by definition, the more people who know about it, the less traditional it is and the more touristy or built-up. Are you looking for a place to live, or a place to visit? In southern NH, you could try Peterborough, Hancock, Amherst Village or Hollis Village. In the Lakes region, try Holderness, Center Sandwich, Eaton, Tamworth or Wolfeboro (bigger).

You'd be better off asking which towns are NOT a small traditional NE town in NH. Most towns that actually have a town center would qualify.

It would help to limit the area down....Lakes Region, Mountains, Seacoast, Monadnock region. Some towns are obviously a little better than others but every region has their fair share.

I couldn't agree more, NH filled with them! A lot of "which is right for you" boils down to what you're looking for. Some are more isolated, others have better schools, yet others are convenient to Boston, etc...

Well, the sky's the limit right now, as myself and Storylady are still in the begining stages of looking around for a place we MAY decide to move to. Ok, not may, that we WILL decide to move to. We are in no hurry, though, so we are taking our time. I'll look into the towns you guys have mentioned and check them out. Thanks for all the input.

if you do decide to do something with reptiles (you know, you can heat tanks/pools to keep them warm in the winter....) you might want to consider near one of the more touristy areas. Maybe around the Lakes?

Maybe you could get into bear wrestling and save on heating all that water.

If you want to be closer to the coast check out Exeter, Dover, and Portsmouth as well....they are little pricier though but full of "New England charm."

I was looking into Dover, but it definitely looked a bit pricier. Big beautiful houses and all. Damn.
