The Best Move of Your Life
Taking the leap for liberty and moving to New Hampshire usually starts with research. Whatever your questions, chances are some of our participants have gained the experiences necessary to answer them. Just join any of our online groups and start learning from Free Staters who’ve made the journey before you.
Coming for a visit within a few months will help tremendously in the planning process. Movers report that visiting allowed them to discover their favorite areas and meet the people who would soon become their close friends. Team Porcupine Real Estate recommends two visits: the first to explore and meet the locals and the second to look for a home.
Getting to Know the Destination
New Hampshire is divided into six major regions. It has 10 counties, 13 cities, 221 towns, and 25 unincorporated places. You’ll find the most Free Staters in the Merrimack Valley (Manchester, Nashua and Concord), the Monadnock region (Keene), and the Seacoast. That said, since many Free Staters enjoy living away from big government, a good many of us choose to live in rural areas.

Finding a Home in New Hampshire
Renting: There are many Free Stater-friendly landlords throughout the state! Check listings on Ledgeview Commercial Partners, and the FSP Housing Search group. Many people find rentals by driving around areas they like, as many owners don’t advertise vacant units online. Learn more about how Free Staters rent in New Hampshire.
Buying: Most Free Staters prefer to rent initially to gain a better understanding of the different regions before buying their “forever home.” The first step to take when you are ready to settle down will be to obtain a financing pre-approval. Next, your agent will guide you through the buying process, including setting up listing alerts and dealing with inspections, financing, appraisal and closing. Learn more about how Free Staters buy homes in New Hampshire.
