Also it’s been a few years but If I remember correctly there’s special parking lots for residents at Hampton beach. I never lived there but the ex’s friends did and they would park somewhere right next to the beach for free (was crowded but not as bad as trying to get regular parking at the beach during summer) so that’s a nice lil perk.

Exeter/Stratham/Newfields/Newmarket...any one of those towns will get you space but you'll be fairly close to the highway for access to Portsmouth and the beach. Personally I would look closely at Newmarket. Good downtown restaurants and young-ish vibe.

I live in Hampton and also lived on Hampton beach. Tourists don’t mingle in town they go directly to the beach, the town is always quiet even on the busiest days on the beach. We locals know back roads that are never busy with almost no traffic. If you stay out of downtown Hampton beach you are going to be alright. We usually stay close to north beach (the wall) away from the crowds of the restaurants and bars. I live in town right now, but really close to the beach, 2min drive, and you never can tell that the ocean is so close, my backyard is wooded and I have 18 turkeys living there. Even the weather is different.

I don’t know if you are interested, but the schools are amazing.

Compared to the towns around us there are very few houses for sale, even before Covid. I’ve never seen more than 10 houses for sale at once ( I don’t think I’ve seen 10 actually). We also pay less property taxes thanks to the beach.

We have only had bad neighbors once in our 35 years here. They were a young couple and the boyfriend apparently sold performance cars (he'd have exotic cars in the driveway on a regular basis). We only contacted the HOA once as she would let her dog out the front door and he'd run around, poop on our lawn and then run back inside. One email to the HOA took care of the problem.

I hope that you can get your problems resolved. Financial stress often results in family stress and your neighbor might not have had the best examples in growing up and raising kids; nor additional family resources.

Ha! I was actually there long enough to see it get flooded out twice.

One time it was enough for a lot of the cars in that large parking lot to the WSW to have water up to their hubcaps. It follows the slope of the land, so the cars in the north end of it were high and dry, and the ones at the other end... yeah.

The other time was bad. I remember wading out(knee level) to the back side, and actually seeing people trying to get into the studios on the South/SSE side(closest to the brook), wading in to them at about waist height. Those were down at ground level, as opposed to the rest of the facility which was built up on a berm to a certain extent. Some of the people going in were, I think, workers for OML trying to ensure that breakers were shut off, etc(?)

I think they may have decommissioned that row of studios after that(?)

PS: That "pond"! I'm sure the frogs loved it once it got choked by cattails.
