Small town values never went out of fashion in the Upper Valley. Wherever you go you find a shared sense of responsibility, respect and safety. You get a neighborly feeling from people, whether you meet them at a downtown street fair, a bakery, a concert or hiking on a granite mountaintop. In the Upper Valley you can live in a city townhouse or a rural farmhouse. The bustling economy delivers a wide range of employment opportunities, from high tech companies to education.
Autumn transforms the landscape with a palette of reds, oranges and yellows.
And then there is bright sunlight on the first deep snow of winter, a Saturday morning invitation to throw your skis on the car head for the mountain a few minutes away. You could devote years simply to exploring the restaurants, country inns, stores, shops, museums, theaters, crafts fairs, galleries and historical sites of the surrounding towns and villages. Boston, Montreal, New York City, and the rocky coast of Maine are just a few hours' drive away.
