I agree with what the others are saying, for $450,000 with a good house on it you are looking at a water access community. That's what we ending up doing an are very happy. Would love to be able to walk out the back door and jump on the boat but couldn't justify the cost. Also agree with the comments on watching the HOA dues and the property taxes. For point of reference, a $450,000 house in Moultonborough is about $4,000 in taxes versus $10,000 in Laconia. That $6,000 annually/$500 monthly represents about $100,000 of purchasing power in todays interest rate environment.
