My wife and I moved into Alton Bay about the 1st of May in 1996. We moved into my mom's house, which she and Dad bought in 1977. It is about a half mile off the lake, just outside of the Sandy Point area on the west side of the bay.

Love the area. Restaurants include Shibley's at the Pier (somewhat seasonal), Pop's (seasonal). Shibley's Drive in (seasonal), Bay diner, Foster's, Dockside, and Ackerly's. Short trip to Johnson's in New Durham, several spots in Wolfeboro, a few in Barnstead, and several in the Gilford / Laconia area.

Overall tax rate is good. Population is right at 6,000.

Quaint area in the bay and small business up town. Catholic Church and a small church.

For me, age mid to late 70's, it's a great place to live.
