5 Reasons to Buy a Retirement Home on the Seacoast

It’s time to retire, to kick back and enjoy life to its very fullest, to spend days at the beach or horseback riding through the hills and nights admiring crystal-clear stars. It’s time to leave behind the stresses of big-city living, of corporate jobs, of traffic jams and early-morning meetings. It’s time, my friend, to retire to the Seacoast. 

Here are five reasons to buy a retirement home on the New England Seacoast.

The Outdoor Adventures are Nearly Endless

We’ve got hundreds of acres of woods and rolling hills (and plenty of trails for hikers, bikers, and horseback riders). We’ve even got some more challenging climbs, like Mount Agamenticus (for our hardy hikers and hardcore mountain bikers). New Hampshire also has over 8,000 miles of snowmobile trails for the winter adventurer. 

New Hampshire = (Almost) No Taxes

So you’ll be happy to know that New Hampshire comes with its fair share of tax letups, including NO sales tax, NO tax on Social Security income, and NO state tax on earned income.

For Maine residents, there’s also NO state tax on military pensions, as well as Social Security income.

There Are Tons of Amazing Towns

We’ve got small-town fun and excitement (like Portsmouth or York Beach), charming coastal escapes (like Kittery and Rye), and plenty of rural inland areas (like Dover and Exeter). You can live on the water, in a town, or in the woods surrounded by acres of the rolling natural landscape. It’s up to you.

It’s the Gateway to Everywhere

Looking for a more challenging hike? Head to the White Mountains. Ready to break out the snow skis? There are tons of great downhill resorts throughout New Hampshire and Maine. Craving some big-city excitement? Hey, Boston’s only an hour away.

You’ll Never Find a Place More Charming
