From our prospective, living in Alton Bay, if you stay on the Merideth to Weirs to Alton side of the lake, you are close to Funspot and all things from the lakes and south, including to Manchester to catch a FisherCats baseball game.

If you live Merideth to Center Harbor to Wolfeboro, you are closer to the mountains, North Conway, and all that the North Country offers.

If you live in the more populated side Laconia Gilford, you will be close to shopping, but also more traffic and congestion, with less on the other side of the lake.

Bottom line, take a look at what you and your family want to do with your time, in good weather and in bad weather. And remember, that you can go around the lake in a little over an hour, so one side is not really all that remote from the other.

Hope you find a great place for your family to stay, and that when you get up here, everyone has a really great time. Enjoy the area and all it has to offer.
