What's specific to moving here
Manchester's proximity to the Massachusetts border means many residents commute into the Boston area for work — no state income tax is the most commonly cited reason for choosing New Hampshire over Massachusetts specifically.
Traffic and access
Traffic is generally light by major-metro standards, though commuter traffic toward the Massachusetts border increases during rush hour on Route 3 and I-93.
