I still like the area I picked 20 years ago. Bridgewater NH. Population 1000. Low taxes, no crime, on the shores of NH 5th largest lake but elevation on hills and mountains to over 2500 feet, just 30 minutes north the Whites. 10 miles to Rt 93 to get to Boston. 85" of snow but just on the downside of the Whites so I get more sun. Great snow retention with CAD.
