For myself, I'm not used to driving in snow and was looking for a place that wasn't too far away. For my husband, he grew up in New England and has no problem driving in the snow. He's perfectly ok with driving a bit of a distance in order to attend church. However, for both of us, church is very important. Also, my husband has some health issues and being near a good hospital/doctor would be good... although, I've heard some very negative things about the hospital in Laconia which I'm taking into very serious consideration.
It's not set in stone where we'll live. I'm aware that things will be vastly different once we get there and can see things in person. I was just wondering if there were certain parts of Laconia that it would be better to stay out of than others.

I'm by Winnisquam in Laconia, moved here a couple of years ago and love it. Yes the city has problems (so does everywhere) I read about them in the paper as well problems in other smaller towns. It does have great people, things to do, restaurants, it's affordable, has good doctors, but if you don't like the hospital it's close to 93 to get Concord or Plymouth . Downtown is changing, new stores, gyms, yoga, coffee shops, a mall, great library, lots of churches. There are areas I would not buy in, but lots of great places to live with water assess. Good luck
