There is one in Wolfeboro just off Rt 28. I just can't think of the name right now. It is mostly modular homes. Last I knew they ranged in the 100,000+-. There is one ( I think it is over 55) on Rte 109A in Tuftonboro which is trailers and is much less expensive than that. Those two come to mind.

I would avoid the one in Tuftonboro on 109A. We have had 2 friends who owned property there and sold because there were so many restrictions.

Really? That's interesting. I have a friend whose Mom lives there and I never heard that. She has a dog so I know animals are allowed. Do you know what the restrictions are?

It's been a few years, and they both sold for these reasons. It is a community run co-op, and I remember the friends reporting that many of the neighbors were always watching what you were up to.
It is well maintained, and if you are the kind of person who likes neighbors keeping an eye on you and your place you might like it.
Small pets and children are allowed, which is unusual for an over 55 community.
You have to use it as a primary residence, so if you travel part of the year, or just aren't living there, you can't rent it out.
You can only have a certain number living there.
There may be limitations what you can park in your yard.
