My mother's family is from NH so I moved there 10 years ago from Everett. I was spooked when a neighbor was murdered with a screw driver. NH is pretty nice people leave you alone. The country is very quiet. You have to watch out for property taxes especially in small towns they can go up drastically when they run out of money. It has been great being back in NH. Got to 2 wood stoves blaring and trying not to use too much power or heating fuel.
