Although you can certainly make a living in the Lakes Region, many people who live in the towns around the lake commute to the seacoast area, Concord, Manchester, Boston, etc. for the more high-end jobs.
Hubby and I picked Alton because he works in Bristol and I was working in Portsmouth and it was the perfect "middle ground" at the time. It has had the lowest property taxes in the state, most of the time, and has a great little school system. We love our community!
