Why MANCHESTER?
Manchester, the largest city in New Hampshire, is encircled by verdant woodlands and sweeping mountain ranges. With a land area of 35 square miles, Manchester is home to more than 116,000 people. There are many outdoor activities available to residents in a place where all four seasons have been perfected. You can ski on the slopes at the McIntyre Ski Area or any of the 28 ski resorts in New Hampshire thanks to the state’s average annual snowfall of 60 inches. The region is at its most beautiful in the fall, when the trees display stunningly colorful leaves that must be seen to be believed. You have a wide range of possibilities during the spring and summer, from hiking, boating, and picnicking at Lake Massabesic to, for the more daring, a quick trip from downtown to the White Mountain National Forest in the north or Hampton Beach State Park on the Atlantic Coast in the south.
low cost of living
New Hampshire does not have a general sales tax, and personal income is not taxed at the state level.
skilled workforce
Manchester is home to a number of college and university campuses, including the University of New Hampshire at Manchester, Southern New Hampshire University, and Manchester Community College. The community feels young and vibrant, thanks to the large number of college students living here, and nearly a third of the area’s population over 25 years old holds a bachelor’s degree or higher.
