Generally, my impressive is you get more house for the money west of the river because there is less commuting to Boston. If you can accept
"once removed " from the I-93/US-3 corridors you open up many more options.
We've lived in Merrimack for many years, in part because it was 1 hour to the seacoast, lakes region, Boston and mountains when we moved here. After decades, we go to Winni routinely and the other places occassionally so if it s one hour or 90 minutes, so what? Nashua and Manchester have concerts and theater. Manchester has hockey and baseball. Think hard about why you want to be on those corridors. As you get older, you may want to look at: Is the ambulance service full time or volunteer? What restaurants are in town? How far to a quick service medical outfit? How active is the Parks and Rec Department with senior activities? (Huge in Merrimack) Is there a senior center? Think about being 75+.
