Go Visit
Coming on 2 years of researching my own relocation to the lakes region, I would highly recommend visiting the area as much as possible. As many folks on this forum can tell you, I have switched my town preference several times (Meredith, Gilford and now Wolfeboro). The reason for the change in towns has been because I actually spent time in the area and got to know local year-round people. That has been a tremendous help in getting a vibe for an area.
I have also learned that it takes about an hour and half to drive around the entire lake and it is ALWAYS a pleasure. So it's possible to visit several lake towns in a weekend. Each town has unique characteristics that make choosing purely subjective.
Visit as often as you can during all four seasons and you will get the best sense of where you and your family would be happy.
