If you're thinking about moving to New Hampshire or if you're already here and trying to find a place that won’t completely drain your wallet, you might be in luck. We all know New Hampshire is a sweet spot with its stunning White Mountains, the beautiful Lakes Region, and those awesome historic towns that make you feel like you’ve stepped into a postcard. But let’s be real: finding an affordable place to live here has not been easy for many, especially when the median home sale price is over a half of a million bucks.

However, there are still a few places in New Hampshire where you can snag a home without selling a kidney. Let’s dive into the three most affordable spots where you can actually consider settling down—because let’s face it, anything under $500k is practically a steal these days.

According to Redfin, the median price for a home in New Hampshire is 507,200. They crunched some more numbers and named these 3 places as the "most affordable". I'm not sure if these are the most affordable "cities", because I would guess that some smaller, more rural towns would be cheaper.

1. Keene – Median Home Price: $326,500

Keene is a little college town in the Monadnock Region. Known for its vibrant downtown and artsy vibe, and offers affordable living with a side of culture.

2. Concord – Median Home Price: $350,000

As the state capital, Concord somehow manages to stay relatively affordable. You get a mix of city amenities with that small-town feel. And it's not that long of a drive to both the mountains and the coast.

3. Rochester – Median Home Price: $415,000

Rochester is where affordability meets convenience. It’s close to the seacoast, so you can hit the beach without spending seacoast-level money. Rochester is growing fast, with more and more people catching on to the fact that it offers a lot without costing a fortune, which in return has been driving the real estate prices up.

So there you have it—just remember, “affordable” is a relative term these days, but compared to the rest of the state, apparently these towns are about as budget-friendly as it gets.
