Hey guys. Grew up in updstate NY and spent a lot of time in New Hampshire over the years. Currently have been in the South the last few years and ready to get out of here. New Hampshire is in our short list right now (also looking at Vermont and Maine). We're doing a trip there soon to check out a few areas and would love some recommendations.

Looking for a safe area, natural beauty (open to coastal or not) ideally where it's somewhat easy to get some land (probably at some point in the future).
And preferably close to a larger population like Portland just for work etc.

Also, while we're there, any recommendations on must have spots to see or places to visit?

Thanks!

Might want to try the Conway area. Close to most things but far enough away to avoid what you’d like too.
