“Live free or die.”
New Hampshire does try to live up to the philosophy of its famous motto. The Granite State is one of nine states with no income tax and one of just five with no sales tax. Its citizens highly value individual freedoms over a larger government reach.
New Hampshire also has some of the most beautiful natural scenery the Northeast has to offer. Mountains, forests, lakes, beaches and classic New England cities all exist within a relatively close distance of one another, making New Hampshire an enjoyable place to live.
Since the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have taken hold, many people have been looking to relocate to ease their living expenses. While the New England region’s cost of living is slightly higher than the national average, New Hampshire remains relatively affordable.
Nearby states like Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont and New York make New Hampshire look like a cost-of-living haven. Many towns and small cities in New Hampshire have proven to be affordable and desirable places to live.
