The wife and I were house hunting in the great state of New Hampshire on Friday. Looked at a couple of places in Meredith; both bombs. Pictures in the listing did them more justice than they deserved!
We do like Meredith but we also took a shot at a listing that was in New Durham. New Durham is a little more south than we would like to be but the place we looked at in New Durham kind of felt like maybe this could be home. Kind of an idyllic and relaxing setting.
It wasn't
at first sight but we think the place with some of our own personal touches added, could grow on us in a very very short time.
Looking for dirt on New Durham as I found some of the comments about my questions for Meredith both informative and entertaining.
We have checked out the town web site and other sites with info on New Durham. Tax rate is really high with a mill rate of $20. Didn't seem to have a whole lot of infrastructure and seemed like a throw back to the early 1900's. Crime rates seem to be in line with most of the NH communities. It would also be a longer haul for me to pull the boat to get to some of the bigger lakes.
Really not a lot of pluses as far as the town itself goes but we kind of liked the setting for the property we were looking at.
Just looking for some local info and opinions.. Thanks for your help....once again.
