Benefits of Living in New Hampshire

If you've been living in the Big Apple for a while and you're ready for a change, moving from New York to New Hampshire is a breath of fresh air. The Granite State is famous for its patriotism, beautiful views, and heavy snowfalls. Here's what you need to know before starting your move.

The Laws Are Light

Since 1945, New Hampshire’s official motto has been “Live Free or Die.” This 1809 quote from General John Stark sums up New Hampshire’s attitude towards state laws and local regulations. There are no laws requiring passengers to sit in the cab of a truck instead of the bed, and there are also few motorcycle safety laws. Don’t be shocked to see people testing the boundaries of what’s legal after you move.

The Outdoors Are Your Best Friend

Whether you like the beach or the mountains, New Hampshire has plenty of outdoor recreation opportunities. Take a small hike on the Appalachian Trail (don’t forget to stop before you reach the end of the trail in Maine) or dip your toes in the Atlantic Ocean. During the fall, drive to a scenic lookout to enjoy the gorgeous tree colors.

Got a Snow Shovel? You'll Need One

In the summer, the south part of New Hampshire is hot and humid, but the mountains keep the Atlantic’s summer breezes from hitting the northern part of the state. In the winter, the whole state experiences cold temperatures, with average lows reaching between -4° and 15°. Don’t forget your shovel because the state usually gets between 60 and 100 inches of snow each year.

What Sales Tax?

Unlike most of New England, New Hampshire does not have sales tax. When you go to the grocery store or check out one of the local shops, you don’t have to calculate the actual price in your head. Watch out for tourists as you shop; New Hampshire’s lack of sales tax is famous, and many New Englanders make trips to the Granite State to avoid paying extra.

Hello, Property Taxes

While you’ll save on sales taxes once you leave New York, you might make up for the savings if you’re a homeowner. Because there is no sales tax, New Hampshire government organizations rely on property taxes to function. The Department of Revenue Administration sets each area’s taxes based on how much money the government needs and how much a property is worth.

Safety From Natural Disasters

Only a little of New Hampshire is along the coastline, so unlike New York, it doesn’t experience many hurricanes, floods, or tropical storms. It’s also too mountainous to get tornadoes the way western states do. When you settle into your New Hampshire home, you can breathe a sigh of relief because the chances of evacuating for a natural disaster are very low.

Feel Free To Leave the Doors Open

According to US News, New Hampshire is the second-safest state in the country, and it’s only behind Maine for levels of violent and property crimes. Because it is so safe, many people leave their garage doors open or their front doors unlocked. While this environment is sure to be a culture shock after living in New York, you’ll quickly get used to the Granite State’s sense of security.

Check Out the Cities of New Hampshire

New Hampshire is famous for its wilderness, but it also has lots of exciting cities to explore or live in. Manchester is the biggest, with around 113,000 people, closely followed by Nashua at 90,000 people. The capital, Concord, ranks third with just 44,000 people. Although the cities have plenty to do, they are not overpopulated, and you don’t need to worry about getting lost in the crowd.

Leave Room for Dessert

New Hampshire is famous for its New England cuisine, especially its apple cider doughnuts. Get the rest of your apple fix with some local hard cider or apple pie, and show your true New Hampshire spirit by incorporating maple syrup into as many desserts as possible.

If you don’t have a sweet tooth, or if you need something to balance out all the sugar, try some freshly butchered venison. You can find it at a local restaurant, but one of your neighbors probably hunts and would love to share a meal with you. Even though the coastline is short, there are plenty of lakes, so put fried bass at the top of your list as well.

Explore New Hampshire's Past

New Hampshire is also famous for its historic sites, and when you’re moving here, you don’t have to rush to see them all at once. Look back into the time before European colonizers arrived by visiting America’s Stonehenge, which is a collection of labyrinths and megaliths that is several thousand years old. For more recent history, check out the Fells Historic Estate and Gardens, the Wentworth-Coolidge Mansion, or the Wyman Tavern Museum.

If you’re moving to New Hampshire, you have a lot to be excited about. Make sure your move goes smoothly so that you have enough energy to explore your new state by working with White Glove Moving and Storage. Call us at 201-653-1511 to get a quote today.
