OP, just a heads up: you'll soon learn that MA and NH have a symbiotic relationship.

The metro Boston economy is the lifeblood of all of northern New England, with its universities, hospitals, tech companies, investment companies and research labs. The area offers lots of social activities and cultural opportunities.

Southern NH is a bedroom community with tax free shopping and good schools. Neighbors know each other. People have actual land. With real grass.

Northern NH has all the outdoor activities you could ever want in a place where seasons are actual seasons, and a very relaxed vibe.

Pay no attention to the MA haters on the thread. They've just got a chip on their shoulder or a general bad attitude. These are both great states and we welcome you!
