What is going on everyone? Are you tired of the rat race, want to find a nice rural town
buy a home rent a place today we're looking at great rural towns in new hampshire we just did
a video the other day about great rural towns to retire or live as a remote worker across the
united states we had a bunch of people ask if we could expand and do it by state so here we
are i also got a bunch of questions about a good mesothelioma attorney i guess i mentioned that and
then a flurry of ads popped up on my video and then people started telling me that they went
through that and got their structured settlement and then retired apparently this is a bigger thing
than i thought it was going to be i mean after a while i started feeling bad it's like good i'm
glad you got a good lawyer sorry you got exposed to asbestos if you didn't see the first video
about country living i'll explain if you're a remote worker looking for a place away from the
big city or looking to retire in the country this video will show you some places that may fit that
bill with these towns we're looking for that sweet spot a decent place to live that isn't too close
to a major city but not so far away that getting to a doctor's appointment or something like being
able to catch a quick flight out of town that doesn't include crop dusting we also look at
the internet speeds on this video because that's part of life these days i mean maybe about five
percent of us get by living in the country and not need internet at all most of us need internet
all right let's take a look at some great rural towns in the granite state new hampshire
number seven berlin new hampshire now this isn't in any particular order and yes you did hear me
right seven not our usual ten that's because not every state has ten solid options in this
category i don't wanna be reaching on a bunch of them and give you a bunch of crap i wanna get to
the good ones and not waste a bunch of your time we start off with our first rural town of berlin
it is in the northern section of new hampshire about 20 minutes from the main border and about
two hours from concord new hampshire in case you need a doctor's appointment you should be able
to get a doctor's appointment be perfectly fine in town because berlin has the andrew scroggin valley
hospital they also have a small community college and they got about 10 000 residents living here
those residents get to have clean air and a nice river going right through town the androscoggin
river great fishing fly fishing whatever you want to do and you're also not too far from the
canadian border in case you need to get some medication berlin used to be like the center
of the universe when it came to pulp and paper making they had a paper mill here that pretty
much employed most the town for a lot of years it changed hands and finally closed down i definitely
would not recommend this place to anyone that needs a job i mean the people that are there
are having a hard time finding jobs themselves this town is in desperate need of well i guess
a big industry to move in or the people that i'm targeting on this video and that's retirees
and remote workers the crime rate in berlin is 40 lower than the national average and the housing
is about 52 percent lower than the national average when it comes to the housing i don't
think they've really built any new houses in quite some time here you can get older houses that might
need a little work for under 200 000 and that's really surprising because this is new england and
all states are not created equal when it comes to housing prices new england is almost always
always going to be more expensive than a place like i don't know the deep south or something but
berlin's doing a pretty good job when it comes to internet you got spectrum internet which gives you
about a gig that's good anyone could work with that they also have a thing called consolidated
dsl which says they have 100 megabytes per second now every place on these lists have like hughes
net and via stat and stuff like that those are satellite that you can get anywhere in the country
but if you're working from home and you need a good internet connection that's usually not
the best option you're just checking emails and stuff like that yeah probably fine but if you need
to do video conferencing or upload anything you might be having a rough time with those
number six peterborough new hampshire peterborough is a small southern new hampshire town of about 3
000 residents about an hour west of manchester new hampshire and it's about an hour and a half away
from boston so you got two well manchester's not the biggest city but boston definitely is so you
got two options if you need to get someplace like i said in the last video local news is a great way
to understand what a place is like if they don't have a bunch of shootings or home invasions on
the news it might be a great place to live the big news in peterborough right now is scott is
leaving the recycle center after 22 years of work in there bravo scott peterborough doesn't have a
lot of houses for sale right now but it is worth keeping an eye on if new hampshire's something you
want to do in 2020 and 2021 they had a handful of older homes that are nice sell for between
250 and 350 000. obviously prices have changed and they've gone up but i'm not gonna guess at
what they are right now the crime rate here is 61 lower than the national average this is another
place that has that consolidated internet it's dsl and fiber in this town it says 99 of peterborough
is covered by them and it looks like about 70 percent of the town has the option of xfinity
so you got two good options there and of course via satellite or via satellite and hughes net are
always there number five bristol new hampshire bristol is a nice river town of almost two
thousand residents on the pemi jawasset river or what most the locals call it the pemmie if
you don't know new hampshire is a very rural state with plenty of things to do for the outdoor types
bristol has hiking trails and good fishing in the area you got creeks and wooded areas all over the
place you could find something to do outdoors if that's what you're into they also have a really
nice clean downtown and next to no crime the crime rate here is 54 percent lower than the national
average now this is another one that doesn't have a lot for sale right now they do have one really
nice one that's just off of a lake 430 thousand dollars yeah it's a little pricey but you're right
there on a lake and a nice place to live if you need to get into the hospital or anything like
that you're only 35 40 minutes away from concord this is not a bad place to raise a family and
when it comes to internet you got a couple choices but you got consolidated which is dsl and 80 mbps
and then they got one called breeze line which i've never heard of but you can get one gig from
them it's cable internet number four plymouth new hampshire plymouth is a small rural town in about
the center of new hampshire it has around four thousand residents that enjoy a solid hospital
a nearby country club for golfers ski slopes a gun club and a really safe town this place is
incredibly safe the crime rate here is 37 percent lower than the national average and the only thing
that i was looking up their crime it's just like theft and stuff petty theft breaking into cars
that's all they had and it was hardly any of that now i got a little sad reading this one like i
said i like to go to the local news and see what's happening if nothing but obituaries of older folks
that's fine it's expected sad but expected i looked up plymouth and a young lady passed away
21 years old in an auto accident and i feel so bad for the family been thinking about it all day they
must be devastated right now you never want to see that anyway kind of sucks plymouth is just
about 20 minutes north of concord and it has solid internet breeze line and consolidated offer gig
internet here now of course they got some other ones but breeze line and consolidated are your
best options like i said they got good health care they have spear memorial hospital right there and
dentist and all that stuff and they also have plymouth state university where that young lady
was a student at if you decide you want to move to plymouth and buy a house you have some good
options here i mean it's relatively inexpensive so to speak you can get a home anywhere from 240
000 to three hundred thousand it might need a little work get them a lot higher and they're
not gonna need any work but you know two hundred fifty to three hundred thousand you should be able
to get something livable number three conway new hampshire a little northeast of plymouth we have
conway new hampshire right there by the main border this is a great place for hikers they
got a lot of trailheads in this area maybe not in town but the surrounding area has a lot of
hiking trails a lot of good mountains to climb up conway is not a cheap place to live it's actually
pretty expensive uh when it comes to real estate if you want to buy anything right now i think the
cheapest thing they have is about 420 000 but they go all the way up into a million but it's
a wonderful place to live now in late 2021 and just a couple days ago they have sold some homes
for around 300 000 but a majority of the homes are gonna be over four hundred thousand in some
cases well over four hundred thousand conway has a little over three thousand residents and they
have a crime rate that's 10 percent lower than the national average conway has the saco river right
there which has great fly fishing things like that they also have a smaller river called the
swift river and a big pond right in town they also have an ice arena and a subaru dealership i mean
what kind of respectable mountain town that gets bad weather doesn't have a subaru dealership we
got tons of them here in portland we're not even really a mountain town but like i said conway is
expensive but it might be worth it keep in mind i in my last one i was talking about home prices
and i said some of them over 450 000 some people freaked out 450 000 who can afford that well a lot
of people can afford that if that's the price it's going for if nobody can afford that price then
they don't make it that price that's how the free market works conroy has a hospital called memorial
hospital that's right in town it's a good size hospital should be able to take care of all your
needs if you need something else from a hospital you're probably gonna have to go to portland maine
or concord new hampshire concord new hampshire is about an hour and 45 minutes away where portland
maine's about an hour and 20 minutes away when it comes to internet you have the usual suspects uh
spectrum covers 100 they say of uh conway and you can get one gig internet from them number
two gorham new hampshire right down the road from brutal in new hampshire you have the town
of gorham gorham sits on that andrew scoggin river about two hours from concord new hampshire it's
also close to a whole bunch of really cool stuff hiking mountain biking skiing snowmobiling just to
name a few you can also hop on the appalachian trail here where you might run into a shaman
at least that's was one girl's experience she said she ran into a shaman while hiking the appalachian
tales she told this big story about it and he told her that she would have two children she
had four so he was half right she actually went on to name her second son after the shaman she
has a son named corki orkey the shaman that has to be against some spiritual law to be a shaman
named corki corki the shaman a cartoon character not a shaman anyway you can hike mount washington
or take the really cool cog railway that takes you up the top it's really really neat there's
so much to do here when it comes to healthcare you have the androscoggin valley hospital right
up the road in berlin and internet will be with spectrum again gig internet out in the middle of
the beautiful countryside when it comes to buying a home here you're currently looking at about 350
000 and above it's a little pricey here but in the last two months they've sold four or five
homes for under 220 000 and they've looked nice a little older but nice and then on top of all
that good news their crime rate is 13 below the national average safe fun and beautiful
all right before we get to number one don't forget we have another channel called on this day
there's a link down below it is gaining steam we'd really appreciate it if you helped it out
and went over and subscribed watch some videos all right on to number one and number one hillsboro
new hampshire just 25 minutes west of concord new hampshire you have the town of hillsboro it's not
really a town it's a census designated area but most people just call it a town from what i read
it can also be spelled hillsboro h-i-l-l-s-b-o-r-o or you add the u-g-h at the end technically the
ugh goes on the end it's a little weird either way you spell it this town sits on the kentuck river
and not too far from franklin pierce's homestead in case you don't know who that is he was our 14th
president he is also considered one of the worst presidents that we've ever had c-span and a bunch
of presidential historians came out with a list where they ranked all the presidents i'll leave a
link below hillsboro has almost 6 000 residents and a very low crime rate it's actually 59
lower than the national average now the actual town only has about two thousand but like i said
it's a census designated area this one's weird so the town that's kind of there is
two thousand residents and the whole area has six thousand anyway they got a lot of homes in
the woods outside of town like every town in new hampshire they got plenty of things to do outdoors
if you haven't picked up on that yet it snows a lot in new hampshire if you hate the cold
and the snow scratch hillsboro off your list as a matter of fact go ahead and scratch the
entire state of new hampshire off your list it is beautiful and you'd be missing out as far as
homes go you can get a stunningly beautiful home in hillsboro between 350 and 450 thousand dollars
it does go up from there so be prepared if you're looking occasionally you might find something
that's under 300 000 but most the time 325 000 is gonna be your starting point for this town
or census designated area okay so the website has like three different companies that supply
internet here one is called tds they say they'll give you one gig it's fiber you also have fiber
with granite state communication they'll give you a gig but probably the most reliable one is
xfinity they're only in about 85 percent of the homes here and they'll give you 1.2 gigs so yeah
one of the three should be able to work at your house if you move to hillsboro and buy a house
all right that's today's video hope you guys enjoyed it hope you got
some information out of it now go out have a great day be nice to each other
