The season is a crucial variable. The lakes region and many other areas inland are a paradise from June-August. Dating is muchhh easier in the summer in these areas, which completely die down in the off season. As in like the population drops by 75% at the end of summer for some towns.

If you are moving up in the late spring, summer - lakes region/N Conway might be fun. If winter, it may be lonely. Nearly all of my friends in that age range that move from NYC/Boston to these areas do Portland Maine or similar.

(as someone who has dated in both all areas mentioned I can confirm all of this lol - appreciate the options in NYC while you have them. Dating in rural inland areas in NH in the winter is brutal)

yeah Portsmouth is expensive but is a one-of-a-kind town in NH imo. Like a rare area where if you live right in downtown you may barely ever need a car

That’s where there isnt a way to avoid compromise. There is no inland place with a dating life that comes anywhere close to Portsmouth et al. You basically have to choose between dating and closer skiing. its not that bad though - like 90 mins to many good mountains.
