Vermont is special.

Good on you for visiting first and asking locals on reddit.

Living in Vermont is a more expensive (ranks 10th most expensive) than NH (ranks 14th) - not a huge difference though.

Like most states, we have a housing shortage right now. Your housing budget, what amount? How much money you have to rent or buy would likely determine whether this move is doable.
