Downtown Claremont is all walkable and was just fully redone for the first time in 100 years. It’s very beautiful now. Claremont has a bus that runs up to Lebanon daily. You can walk to a elementary school middle school high school community center over 50 stores a giant opera house public library and much more while living in downtown Claremont. Depending on what you enjoy Claremont does have a dance studio a classic arcade many thrift stores great restaurants comic book shop board game shop a locally owned video game and collectible store and much much more. I highly recommend Claremont. It is still located in the upper valley is a city and best of all is much cheaper then Hanover or Lebanon.
