Wife is from there, her family still lives there (we live further north). From my perspective I enjoy going over there because it has more amenities than I'm used to (food choices / close to walmart), you can drive in any direction and find beautiful scenery close by. Her sister lives there and her son is big into playing sports, especially hockey. We didn't make it to the river fire festival they just had but it looked like a ball. Her parents have a boat and frequently take it over to the beautiful Lake Umbagog (about 1 hour away). Some ski areas within striking distance also. ATV and Snowmobile trails easily accessed. I think it's as nice a place as any for someone looking to live in the Great North Woods.

Something like that is what we (especially my wife)are looking for. I’m from larger cities of Massachusetts, so I want somewhere slower and my wife is from a tiny town in the Catskills my wife doesn’t do well in cities or even larger towns. The areas in and around Berlin seem perfect for both of us. Our son is young but I’m big into sports and hope he follows in my footsteps so that sounds like a plus. We also like areas that have community events and other outdoor activities.

She also graduated from Berlin High and her field hockey team won a state championship, her cheerleading squad also performed well. Sports were always a big part of the tradition in the school system.
