Sorry for your loss! I was half joking in the first part of the post because we get these posts all the time. Why do you desire a change? I think that should be answered before moving here. NH is a really a mixed bag everywhere you go so you're going to have to be ok with it not meeting all the check boxes just like anywhere else. The major difference with the mixed bag is that most places to move to are so small that there's not much you're going to be able to change it other than driving really far to find another community. Instantly when you move here, you will be viewed as the outsider pariah as you can see from the comments on this post. Are you ok with dealing with that? The community stuff or quaint town feel isn't a given and you'll have to work and deal with ppl for possibly decades before you get what you think you want in that area. As a transplant myself, i'm just telling you the writing on the wall before you get here. If you're going to be isolationists, then expect to be treated as such. Thankfully where we moved, we already knew a ton of ppl and have been heavily involved in a ton of ways but we see these dynamics play out in a lot of places.
