Most likely, you’d be lucky to get a 1 bedroom apt for that price in Portsmouth. I’d be curious to see the ratings for just north of Concord schools, or in concord. The downtown there is adorable & great food etc. Certainly moving here from the DMV changes the demographics- the diversity is lacking here- so keep that in mind.

Londonderry is a great town too- closer to Boston but not too far from Concord (30ish minutes on Hwy), very busy and growing rapidly. Will be pricier than Concord.

Nashua will be a haul from concord but more diverse and right on the Mass border. Great shopping & cute downtown.

Good luck, NH is a great place to land.
