Lakes Region Living

We have JUST moved permanently year-round to the Lakes Region! We're originally from Mass. but have been living for the last five years in Vero Beach, Florida, in a condo we owned (six months a year) and then we rented a small waterfront cottage in West Alton for six months a year. Finally we decided we are NOT Florida people and wanted to be up here for good. So we bought a house in Gilford with beach rights. Couldn't afford waterfront but beach rights works just fine! Sold the Florida condo and flew down two weeks ago to await the movers. Sooooo happy to be back here!

Since we've been renters here for the last five years, we know the area pretty darn well. And so I agree with Cate who advised you to RENT up here and get to know the area again and decide where you think you'll be the happiest.
