    "I drive over crappy roads for 20 of my 45 min commute to work. It’s about 30 minutes from everything- Concord, Rochester, Dover, Laconia. Great if you have friends and family in the area but can feel isolated if not."

    "we all have free roaming dogs that look out for each other. we call to let each other know where the dogs are. there are 5 of us that do this in my neighborhood. "
  • Allison P.
    "I live 2 miles down a dirt road which is common.. 30 min ride to Concord or 25 min to Alton! Its all one road whichever way you go.. drive stinks but is worth it to be in the country! "
