I can't think of many bad spots in seacoast New Hampshire except Rochester. Stratham is nice.

I am temporarily driving for Uber for some extra cash... and found myself in Rochester after midnight. It's a veritable Zombieland.

What’s the issue with Rochester?

Issue? Uh....yeah...there's more than one 'issue', but the poverty you can go and see for yourself most days. One time the guy who worked at the Walgreen's there said to me, 'Buddy, at night this place is like the Star Wars bar."

Haha this is incredible. OP, based on this comment alone, you should move to Rochester.

I’m not the above commenter, but am familiar with the Rochester area. There are a lot of unsavory areas in Rochester where buildings are rundown. I’m sure, like most places, they also have their fair share of drug/crime issues. It’s not the worst place in the state, and a lot of people see it as up and coming, but I personally wouldn’t want to live there. Schools are probably on par, if not worse, than Dover, but I can’t say I’m an expert on that.

So the Dover schools are THAT bad?

I only have anecdotal evidence but have heard terrible things about the Dover school system.

That's total bullshit. They just tore down the old high school a few years ago and built a brand new one and it's Voc school, so Dover gets taxpayer dollars from Barrington, too. Also, Durham sends their kids there for voc trades, Nottingham and Northwood kids got there, too, because Coe-Brown is so bad.

Coe brown has their own voc programs. I know for a fact they have agriculture programs and have for years but that their agriculture programs aren't as strong as the one at dover. I went to Dover high and the animal science teacher who heads up the dover high program graduated from coe brown

Well, to honest, I got out of high school in 1983, so I'm sure there's been some improvements since then, lol.
