When you say a nice downtown, what are you picturing OP? You want to go for a walk down mainstreet with your fam every night? Cafe, bookstore, bars, restaurants? Or you want to drive 15 minutes and park and walk around somewhere quaint?

That's a great question. Something like the former, an area where we can walk around and dip into restaurants/shops/cafes.

It seems like no matter where we are (mainly looking at Concord, Amherst and Bow now) we'll be 15-20 min from someplace quaint.

Yeah, depending on how far away you're willing to live from Concord, Exeter and Newmarket might be options. Goffstown has a little bit of quaintness to it and is closer to Concord

Right now, my max commute time is around 35-40 min. I'd like it be a little less than my current DC commute haha.

If you can handle the extra 5 minutes added to your commute max, Dover is worth looking into. Dover has a nice downtown area, good schools, and nice neighborhoods. It’s also 10 mins from Portsmouth for more downtown options.
