The county’s scenic appeal—including proximity to the White Mountain National Forest, the expansive Lake Winnipesaukee, and popular ski destinations like Cranmore—draws renters who value outdoor recreation as part of their daily lifestyle. Neighborhoods such as Conway’s historic downtown, Wolfeboro’s lakefront community, and the charming villages of Moultonborough and Ossipee each offer distinct cultural vibes, from vibrant arts scenes to quiet, family‑friendly streets.
