Take a look at Alton. It is centrally located in that within 20 minutes you can be in Laconia, wolfeboro or Rochester which gives you access to 3 hospitals.
Less crime and drugs and lower taxes helps too. They probably don't have the church affiliation you are looking for but again within 20 minutes you can probably choose from a few.

I think the church you are looking for is in Rochester—not that far from Alton—a good choice.

I took eight years to find my "Paradise" place (in Florida), and only discovered it after renting a place a mile away. While you are renting, take the opportunity to go to yard sales, and ask lots of questions about the area. Folks who are selling their homes—and moving away—can be very helpful.

The www.laconialibrary.org, Laconia's free-to-use by anyone public library is the only library around that has a $600/yr subscription to the Value Line investment survey. Something which the libraries in all the other towns do not get.

Another super duper Laconia place-to-be is the Saint Vincent dePaul Store which is next to McDonald's.

Laconia also has a brand new middle school, and a new three story high vocational-technical school building next to their high school.

Laconia has a NH State College, www.lrcc.edu

Laconia has a large local hospital, www.lrgh.org

Laconia has a huge car dealer, www.irwinzone.com, and a huge boat dealer, www.irwinmarine.com

Laconia has a huge hardware store, Moe's Hardware, where they sell a huge variety of nails and fasteners by the pound or quarter pound, and by the single item.

Laconia has a Wal-Mart what with the recent store expansion that actually moved the store entrance across the border from Gilford to Laconia.

Laconia has the www.wowtrail.org which will be a nine mile long, waterfront multi-use bicycle/walking trail, stretching all the way from Meredith to Belmont as it winds through Weirs Beach-Lakeport-Laconia, along the Lake Winnipesaukee waterfront on the big lake embankment next to the railroad tracks.

So's Laconia has lots of positive energy all over the city and it is currently renovating the huge downtown movie theatre which should be really something.

Laconia also has a police department with something like 40-officers so you better watch your speed, and don't use your hand held cell phone for talking or texting when driving in Laconia....not that anyone does that anymore.......ho-ho-ho!
