There's something special about the seacoast of Maine and New Hampshire. Maybe it's the way the sun crawls over the Atlantic Ocean each morning at dawn. Maybe it's the waterfront with its fishing boats and wooden piers. Maybe it's the historic lighthouses that stand sentinel over the rugged coastline. Regardless, Portsmouth and neighboring coastal communities continue to be wonderful places to buy a home and enjoy the lifestyle.

Living in Maine
Retirees have flocked to Maine in recent years, largely because the state doesn't tax social security income or military pensions. Maine's cost of living is also around 4% lower than the national average. And another added bonus—"lobstah" is cheap, so you can always savor a fresh-caught seafood dinner while relishing in Maine's one-of-a-kind coastal landscape!
Living in New Hampshire
As one of the most retiree-friendly states, New Hampshire has no statewide sales tax, and the state government doesn't tax your social security or earned income. This puts even more money in your pocket, especially if you're looking to maximize your savings! New Hampshire isn't just affordable, either—it's also home to a number of outdoor attractions, including Mount Washington and Franconia Notch State Park.
