Reply to Potential job offer around Sunapee. Any decent towns you would recommend around the area? by papa_waltz
Closest night life would be one of the pubs in Newport, or perhaps Clairmont. Kind of a rundown area to be honest. We just ask you don't bring any left wing politics to the state if you move here. We are the Live free or die state,and aim to keep it that way. Thank you .

> Some people might prefer this style of housing. Whether it has downsides in efficiency or not.
That's true, and if that's really their preference then more power to them.
> Also worth noting that due to zoning, large multi-family housing structures aren’t permitted to be constructed in certain areas.
That's more my problem here. If rules like that influenced this project then the rules should be fixed, because people who do want the higher efficiency / cheaper option should get to choose that.
But then we live in a state where most places have 5 acre lot size minimums but no frontage minimums, which lead to ridiculous strip lots that make no sense unless specifically to frustrate future development at the cost of every other consideration.

> You really think your neighbors' homes has no influence on your home value?
I just don't think that effect justifies giving everyone who lives nearby veto power over property usage.
> I have to ask, are you a home owner?
I am.
> Your statement seems really out of touch with the realities of home appraisals and realestate evaluation.
In some places people are really worried about those effects, and the result tends to be suburban HOAs.
The last couple houses I bought were in areas where the effect is drastically smaller. The last place I lived was a dense urban area where demand was so much higher than supply that even stuff like being next to a major airport had minimal effect on property values. Right now one of my 20 closest neighbors is a pig farm and someone got laughed out of town meeting for suggesting the town adopt a noise ordinance in response to their neighbor firing a literal cannon.

I love the concept and would love to know the numbers behind it. I am in the Midwest and always looking for ways to get my money working for me.

The city approved it because the developer has more money than the neighbors.
Per the city meetings a few years ago, all of these were supposed to be claimed already by the employees of the owner's other ventures - the giant assisted living/nursing homes down the road. So, apparently, things have changed.
Which sucks, as I just took over my grandmother's house which is reeeeeeaaaaally close to this monstrosity. It looks like shit and I guarantee it will be section 8 projects within 5 years.

The alternative would be rowhouses (or even just duplexes), which could easily be better at both noise and smell insulation than these things.

Reply to Potential job offer around Sunapee. Any decent towns you would recommend around the area? by papa_waltz
Most towns on 89 will be right for you. My biased recommendation is that I can’t say enough good things about Hopkinton. It’s still a reasonable, and beautiful, drive to Sunapee but also close to Concord, Henniker, and Warner. I tend to go north on 89 when I go places and don’t really spend much time in Concord and still have more than enough to do. It’s a little hard to sense how great the people are around here until you are actually living here so it takes a leap of faith, but well worth it. I think pretty much any of the towns people mentioned here will be great and you’ll meet people fast enough.

I live not far from Sunapee. If nightlife is important to you, you're going to have to go to Concord, which is about 35-40 minutes away.. All the surrounding towns near Sunapee are lovely and small and have zero nightlife. The Town of Newport is next door to Sunapee, and has a few restaurants, but not many. New London is a small college town, and also has a little bit, but housing inventory is next to nothing, and what is there is very expensive, even by New Hampshire standards. The Town of Sunapee becomes more active in the summer, though.

Remember the first "tiny home" craze? My grandparents did, it was called the depression. At least back then the product reflected the cost.

Bradford/Warner and you can hit Concord. Or Grantham and you can hit Lebanon. Gotta tell you this side of NH doesn't have the nightlife that perhaps Manchester or Nashua would have, or have access to (Boston).

Reply to comment by hselomein in Exit 4a project - Im getting it from all sides today! by hselomein
When it's all said and done, there will be a new exit ramp with an overpass there that will connect to the East with Tsienneto Road in Derry. It will include expansion of Folsom Road, and upgrades to Tsienneto Road.
The work is spread out among 3 projects. I don't recall off hand when it will all be wrapped up. Only the first project is under construction so far.

Nah, I get it, it's just that as someone who previously rented in Dover, this feels like grabbing a 5 gallon bucket of water, emptying out 2/3 of it and then trying to dowse a big bonfire with it. It's already a steep enough challenge to solve the problem with just the 5 gallons of water, but you didn't have to make it harder by purposely dumping out most of the water beforehand.

Except these are apartments, you don't own them either. If you could own them it would actually make sense, but you can't so there's no actual, logical reason to do it instead of an apartment building. You would pay less for the same amount of space, the same level of "ownership" and the same amenities. You could house more people with basically any other option than 44 individual houses, and it wouldn't be some towering monstrosity either...which again: should barely be a footnote in the plans for something like this

Yeah, tiny house doesn’t equal trailer doesn’t equal modular. I’d be interested to know what category these houses are insured under. That’s the best way to know for sure, but, as you said, we can rule out trailer.

I'm curious which part of PA? My wife and I both are from there and now live in Bradford. We like it here. But really any of the surrounding towns are nice. Lower ranked would be Newport and Claremont. Highest ranked Sunapee, New London, Newbury. Middle ranked Bradford, Sutton, Warner.
