How old are you? Are you single? Do you have a family? kids?

All of these things matter.

$1100/mo without roommates for anywhere that's "good" is an insane pipedream, tbh. Maybe some dingy apartments in Somersworth?

Zillow and FB marketplace would be a good place to start.

You can try the white mountain (Conway) area. It would probably check your boxes. I grew up there but idk what the prices are these days.
