I think location IS key. We've been talking more about views and that feeling of ahhhh when we arrive home. We'll be looking for that.
The cool thing is that it looks like my partner may be working in Laconia starting in April. She may be up there while I'm still in NJ managing the house and boat sales. Great opportunity to scout.

Perfect!!! She can actually see what others can only describe. These threads start out fine, but somehow they can get hyjacked into the way towns vote etc. Don't get sidetracked. Stick with finding out what you want to be happy. There are always a few people who seldom seem to be happy and offer ideas on what adds to their unhappiness.
The two of you can come up and just look around and visit some of the places that interest you. Be careful about jumping too quickly as we looked for a while before buying and even made a few offers that were not accepted. We loved one home and for some reason thought that it was overpriced as the appraisal did not come up to the asking price. I was in love with that house and would go and look at it all the time. During that time we also had a chance to buy a different house that I could not wait to get out of and race back to the one we loved. The first house has no interest at all to me now as the water frontage is a bit crowded and the beach is not very large. The second house is not well insulated but has a wonderful lot and absolutely gorgeous views. It would have been a great buy but would have needed work. Too much work at that time for sure. In the end the home that was purchased turned out to be just perfect. The house is pretty simple but the lot is hard to beat.
So look for a while and get to know some of the things that make you happy for sure. I don't know how to tell you how to find it, but I just have this feeling that you will know it when you see it.
