These Are 10 of the Best Towns in New Hampshire, Say Locals

Boy did people have thoughts on this one, and rightfully so.

We asked you to name the best towns in New Hampshire. Over 200 comments poured in from locals eager to vouch for their beloved towns, cities, and communities. After all, there are many nice places to live in here in the Granite State, and we're very lucky to live where we do.

Of course, questions about the "best" of anything are clearly subjective, as everyone has their own definition of what designates something as the "best." You might currently live in the same community that you grew up in, and have a soft spot for the area as a result. Maybe to you, the best towns have larger populations and more businesses rather than being rural. Perhaps you instead have a preference for places close to the ocean or mountains. Regardless, everyone has their own perspective on things, which makes this topic all the more interesting.

But enough of our chatter. What town got the most "votes" and is the best in New Hampshire?

It took us a hot minute to tally the results, but here's a countdown list for you. Be sure to scroll to the bottom to find out what place took the top spot (it certainly wasn't what this writer expected).
