Depending on the time frame you are looking for, college housing sometimes opens up for summer rentals.

Also consider looking across the border in Maine

Somersworth and Rochester are kind of rat holes, but may be cheaper

Sounds like someone planted an irrational fear in you.

I hike and camp maybe 10x a summer, for years.

Live in rural area.

My family averages maybe 1-2 ticks a year found crawling, in past 10 years maybe 1-2 ticks embedded.

Keep the yard clean, if possible remove oak trees from property (feel like the acorns bring more mice/chipmunks/squirrels around)

We don’t spray the yard, and only spray picardin/permethrin when hiking

Edit: most of the ticks we find seem to come from a day at the park/playground/ ball field.

They have volunteer military, police, fire, teachers for those that can’t afford them. You get to repair your own roads and runs on the honor system of not destroying the unmaintained public lands. Of course there aren’t many public lands as the companies that have the strongest militia took them over.

It’s a great place!

Housing market has been driven up by Mass residents doing the same thing you’re looking to do, tbh please don’t. If you must please move to western NH

I can’t speak for everyone, but feeling a bit jaded /invaded.

My commute is ruined by the caravan of Mass cars up 93 every Friday, and it’s all 4 seasons. I don’t bother to try and use 93 south on Sunday anymore.

I wish you all would choose Vermont instead, and spend your recreational time in some other state (try Connecticut or Rhode Island, I hear they’re excellent!)

No offense, good luck in your quest
