Thanks! We're excited at the prospect of moving (I'll find out about my job in the next 2 weeks. It's hard trying to figure out where to move since neither my wife nor I are from NH.

The position is hybrid (1-2 days in the office), but they want me to live in NH as I'll have to travel throughout the state at times. After looking around and seeing some comments, we're increasing our budget to 700k and that's opening a lot of possibilities in areas with good schools (Concord, Amherst, etc.).

We're trying to find something that is more New England charm, but drivable to something we're more familiar with (DMV/upstate NY).

Ah ok. Honestly, Concord is one of the most central locations in the state - I highly recommend it. I can get to the border of vt and the coast within an hour. I can get to Boston in 1 hour and about 15 mins. It's reallt one of the best locations in the state in my opinion

If you live in the state and work here no income tax! Plus you can enjoy places like Boston, on occasion.

Amherst is great if the commute works for you.

It's top of our list now. I've only heard good things and the schools are fantastic.

I live near Amherst. It’s certainly ideal. Schools are great. Only problem is you’re going to pay $1,000,000 for a $300,000 house.
