Totally understand the desire to move, but just keep in mind that New Hampshire isn’t some sort of Republican stronghold. It’s purple and trending bluer, especially in the southern half of the state that you are looking at. There are a few towns right along the border that are strong conservative pockets, but the counties along the border as a whole are solidly blue.

With that said, it doesn’t feel as polarized here as other parts of the country. We moved here from Texas 5 months ago partly because of how polarized the political climate was there. While we lean left, we appreciate the ability for people here to cross-over and be bipartisan which is why NH has Democratic senators and a Republican governor.

Good luck on your search and hope you find a place that fits what you’re looking for.

Thank you! IWe are similar, definitely consider ourselves moderate and we can lean both left and right depending on the situation, so I’m not overly concerned about the political environment. But as seen here some people have strong opinions about MA so I understand it. I’m glad to hear it’s not as polarized as is seems.
