My wife and I are planning to look at a house in Littleton, NH this Monday. It would become a vacation, and future retirement home.
Anyone have anything good or bad to say about the area? |

Littleton is a decent town. It does have some drug problems, but it's hard to find an area without that these days. I live about a half hour from Littleton, so we go up there a couple times a month. I'm also friends with some of the officers up there, and those in the surrounding towns. Littleton has all the amenities you should need, and it's only a short drive to some beautiful country. Franconia Notch is nearby, and it's beautiful to drive through there.
ETA: If you want a nice quiet place without the headaches of the big city, you can't get much better than northern NH. |

Littleton is my hometown. Born and raised there til I was 18 and joined the army. I still go home frequently. PM me if you have any questions.
I love that town and will go back after this adventure is over  finding a job will be only hitch. I own a house in town up on pleasant St at the foot of manns hill

My Brother moved to Lancaster, NH a few years ago. He is in a very rural setting on 25 acres. He shops in Littleton quite often.
His Brother and Sister-in-Law bought a lot and built a log home in Littleton about a year ago just outside of the main portion of town on top of a hill with a great view. We've visited twice and both times spent some time in Littleton. IMO, nice small town. We were there this past June and there were a lot of out of town visitors (like us). Chutter's candy store is a must visit when there.  We had a nice lunch one day at the Renaissance Mills.
IMO, all in all a very nice area. We saw a lot of homes for sale in and around Littleton however we're not in the market. |

I would like to thank everyone who contributed to this thread.
The house we saw outside of Littleton was very nice, but not ideal. We went to lunch on Main street, and agree that it is a very nice small town. We also looked at a house near New London, in central NH, off of 89. The town is a very small town in proximity to a small college, and we really liked the area. My wife and I haven't decided what to do, although we are leaning toward the New London area, although perhaps not the specific house we saw. I'm really looking forward to spending more time in NH, although a full-time move is unfortunately still years away. |
