"Am I leaving the geographic area of interest of the forum by asking about Bristol? "
Well, you might be. But I do hope others chime in.
Bristol is indeed an old New Hampshire Mill town. As were many along the rivers. Times change. Industry moves on. Some of the most beautiful architecture is these old mills. Granted, just an opinion.
Bristol is on one of the major routes getting to and fro to Darthmouth Hitchcock Hospital and the Department of Veterans Affairs Hospital in White River Junction, VT.
Bristol does have it's own lake. Newfound lake. A large lake. But just not the big name of Winnipesaukee. And a nice lake.
Bristol has a nice Hannaford's grocery market - formerly Cricenti's.
A nice old New Hamshire Mill town. With amenities in every direction. Plymouth and Plymouth state to north. A lake. DH hospital to west. Concord to south. And the Lakes Region to east. With route 93 not far - and drive thru a few towns and you will bump into route 89.
I don't know anything about the taxes in Bristol. Others can chime in on that.
I am sure you will be welcome in any town, city, or hamlet you ultimately choose.
