My current part of Exeter is mostly 20-30 something year olds with young kids, no jobs, no ambition & no sense of reality! Totally inappropriate for mature adults & I personally cannot wait to move away!
The weather is cold from November to March which limits outdoor activities. That in conjunction with very high real estate taxes makes NH unfriendly. We only live here to be close to grandchildren.
