Most towns on 89 will be right for you. My biased recommendation is that I can’t say enough good things about Hopkinton. It’s still a reasonable, and beautiful, drive to Sunapee but also close to Concord, Henniker, and Warner. I tend to go north on 89 when I go places and don’t really spend much time in Concord and still have more than enough to do. It’s a little hard to sense how great the people are around here until you are actually living here so it takes a leap of faith, but well worth it. I think pretty much any of the towns people mentioned here will be great and you’ll meet people fast enough.
