Agree
I agree--winter can be pretty quiet. The "full-time" residents will have a high % of snowbirds. As kids get a little older, some of them migrate to boarding schools. There are some really good ones in NH, not just Brewster, Exeter and St. Paul's.
One solution: islands. Hard to calculate numbers, but anecdotally, island properties are often owned by people from NH, not always other states. All the glamour and romance of waterfront living goes away after Columbus Day and there is little to do except watch the ice freeze and melt. Live in a winter home near a nice school September-June and live on the island waterfront in the summer. There are a few, but not many island properties that are rented, so your island neighbors really are neighbors and friends.
