At least it's something different. Less of an eye sore than large apartment buildings.

It is when you look at the cost of rentals in Dover

There are alot of factors this depends upon, where exactly you need to go, how far you're willing to travel, budget, etc. I sent you a dm!

Always gives me goosebumps when I'm on 16and I realize I can see the White Mountains from all that way away.

Your best bet with still a short-ish commute is probably white river junction / Lebanon area. New London is really cute but there is zero night life!

New London is a cute (very) little (tiny) college town. There's not a lot to it though.

Overall that's a pretty part of a generally quiet state.

It will have an influence on the home values in the neighborhood so it is a concern for the residents of that area. It will also influence tax collection and the cost of services to the town which can be $10,000's per family if they have kids in the school system.

So it can have an effects on others.

384 sq ft,.. I can't imagine. My home theater room is significantly larger than that! To each their own.

You can read the planning board minutes about this project (starting at pg. 5) and listen to the audio (click Meeting Minutes tab) here:

Some interesting items:

• 35 of the 44 units will be rent restricted to meet the HUD Fair Market rates for Dover, as published annually by New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority.

• M. Speidel’s biggest concerns are traffic and parking. If there are potentially 66 residents there, there could be 66 vehicles, but only 59 parking spaces. He thinks there should be about 83 spaces when using formulas for residents and visitors. This may result in parking on Back River Rd which could be very dangerous due to slope. Mr. Randolph noted the lease will state that there is only one vehicle allowed on site per unit.

haha, a detention pond handles the runoff from the neighborhood. In this case, it temporarily detains the water and it'll dry up in about 24 hours. A retention pond is flooded all the time and never empties.

This is great to see. And also gives me an idea of what I could do with my barn that’s only a few years old. Did someone say air bnb?

Detention ponds? Is that where misbehaving fish go?!?

Hi! I live in Concord, sent you a dm :)

A sterling recommendation, and I thank you for it!

Oh, that sounds great! Congratulations on the house, and thank you for the recommendation!

Thank you! Appreciate the recommendation a lot!

I grew up on 1/4 acre as well and i have driven by this project multiple times. It is probably going to come to more of 1/8 of an acre per lot in reality. I was responding to the person saying you will not hear your neighbors (you will) and can have a garden (not really).

This whole project screams money printer with a fake "we are helping out" facade or just a poorly thought out pie in the sky with more money than thought. The location is walkable outside of winter to downtown but condos would have been a much better use of the land of they didn't want apartment buildings. These are going to be cheaply built (2 years to go from forested uneven ground to 44 units) units that will make the property owner between 100-250k per year. Surprised the city approved of the project and probably only did so because it was "adding housing" but added it in a very inefficient way.

Greg knows the Concord market really well, and is an overall great guy:

It's been a fun ride so far. I have 1st row seat to the fun.

Just used Jon Farewell, great guy. Spent way too long with a different agent and no luck, switched over and our first offer was accepted below list in the most competitive price. Super nice guy and a vet.

The average size of a 1 bedroom apartment in Dover is 790 square feet. So are you saying the rent should be half the amount around $750 instead of $1200?

That's not living in the middle of nowhere but it is pretty normal. That's about 1/6th of an acre per house.

I grew up with a 1/4 acre yard. It's not Sherwood forest but it is hardly living on top of each other...

But you don't, it is 7.5 aces subdivided into 44 lots plus roads...
