Real Talk

- !While elementary schools are highly rated, Bedford High School's rating is a more modest 3/10, which may be a consideration for families with older children
- !The median home value is high, reflecting its desirability and making it less accessible for budget-conscious buyers
- !Dining and nightlife options are limited, typical of a quiet residential suburb rather than a vibrant urban center
- $High property taxes are common in New Hampshire and should be factored into the overall cost of living
- $Necessity of owning at least one vehicle, incurring ongoing fuel, insurance, and maintenance costs
- $Potential for higher general cost of living compared to less affluent areas of New Hampshire
