Reply to comment by JFB11037 in Potential job offer around Sunapee. Any decent towns you would recommend around the area? by papa_waltz

Were about an hour or so east of Pittsburgh currently, I never even thought of New Hampshire as an option until this job opportunity came up. The price of living is pretty steep compared to where I'm from (paying $615 mortgage with taxes and insurance included) but the quality of life here is pretty bad. We just want to be able to walk around a nice town that isn't just 1 way streets and ugly buildings with no destination. This is all still super new and the information I've got has been super useful. Just time to really way the pros and cons / Finances and see if it's viable. The state really does look beautiful.

Oh and we're both big skiers so being by Sunapee and a short drive to Vermont would be huge.

We left Pennsylvania for quite similar reasons. Last living at Blue Knob ski area but I'm from outside Altoona. I hear you so loud on the poor quality of life. There isn't much night life in towns around sunapee. Another great town close by that has a wonderful ski area is Henniker. But if you're coming from the Johnstown are, fucking run up here. You will not regret it. Especially if you like skiing. PM me if you want suggestions on realtors. Houses can be tough to find but I'd say the market is slowing. I'm excited for you.
