Thanks Stilljester, Wolfeboro is very nice and would consider, however, a little remote from my activities in Laconia, Tilton, and Gilford.

Going to take a close look at 'New Hampton', as it checks all the boxes:
Shopping, Close proximity to both Winnie, N.F.Lake, Laconia, Churches, etc

Unfortunately, inventory in New Hampton is always low and will be a challenge.

You may want to contact a local realtor just to let them know you are looking for the right opportunity. They will tend to know of properties that are not yet listed in the MLS.

Lived there for 30 years. Squam lake 19 Minutes boat is in water and truck is parked..

Newfound lake 19 Minutes boat is in the water and truck is parked.

Winni ( Meredith launch ) 25 Minutes boat is in the water and truck is parked. All depends on traffic.

Winnisquam 40 Minutes boat is in the water and Truck is parked.

Close to Everything yet Far enough away to ENJOY LIFE. However things have gone thru the roof property wise in New Hampton. More and More out of Staters have and were and are moving to New Hampton. It used to really be that small town feel that everyone was looking for. Now EVERYONE has found it.

Default New Hampton

I second New Hampton. It is a very nice, well run town. Plus, it's namesake school is my alma mater!

Not being familiar with that other side of the world, I looked up New Hampton. Google sent me to Hampton, NH, which had good marks, but something seemed amiss. Trying again, I got New Hampton and here is their description:

"New Hampton is a town in New Hampshire with a population of 2,572. New Hampton is in Belknap County. Living in New Hampton offers residents a rural feel and most residents own their homes. Many young professionals live in New Hampton and residents tend to lean conservative. The public schools in New Hampton are above average."
