Often times you'll be able to afford a newer home on a much larger lot with more square footage for a much lower price than found south of the border. And your monthly housing expense will be much lower even after you factor in southern New Hampshire's somewhat higher property taxes. There are many houseing options from new construction to antique colonials. Beautiful subdivisions are set amid the scenic countryside and shopping, schools and recreational activities are nearby. There are also many new 55+ active adult communities in the region. What better place than affordable New Hampshire to spend your golden years.
