When I was looking for a place I ruled out Gilford and Laconia due to the rates. Some may find those places worth the higher taxes for whatever reason. Services, ease of access....

Same here, You could get more house in Laconia for your $$$$ but those taxes are a killer.

I also chose Laconia because of the access to stores, restauraunts and services, ie I'm on city sewage, have trash pickup, etc. I can walk to Shaws, Lowes and Hannafords are a quick ride. It also puts me closer to home, although I have to deal with the Channel every time I want to get out of Paugus Bay.

Obviously there are pluses and minuses with every location.

Just my thoughts,
Hope this helps,
Bill

When we were looking I wanted Moultonboro for the low taxes but my wife wanted Meredith for the shorter ride and the access to all that the town center had to offer. I'm glad my wife won out. The extra half plus hour ride to get to a house in Moultonboro would not have been worth the tax savings. Plus I bought a place within a mile of the town which we walk to every weekend morning, weather permitting.

Right, and, unlike property value, you never get taxes back.
