Retire to the Seacoast

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.

Why Relocate to the Seacoast?

New Hampshire and Maine's coastal communities offer so much more than New England charm. Below are a few benefits of retiring to the seacoast. Contact us to learn more!

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.

Featured Seacoast Communities

New Hampshire and Maine offer an unforgettable lifestyle. For those who love sightseeing, this area is filled with beautiful scenery, historic homes and museums, and lighthouses, especially around Portsmouth. For those who love boating, communities like Little Harbor in South Portsmouth let you live close to local marinas and fishing spots. And if you crave shopping and dining, lovely downtowns and the outlet mall in Kittery are great for an afternoon excursion. Browse our favorite communities below to find your dream home.

Portsmouth, NH

Portsmouth has so much to offer both residents and visitors alike. As a matter of fact, many buyers we've worked with over time initially came here as visitors, returning again and again, and then decided to make Portsmouth their primary home.

Greenland, NH

Greenland is a small town right next to Portsmouth and Stratham. It is home to quiet residential areas and very intimate condo communities, very nice pastoral areas, and some commercial mixed in here and there.

Kittery, ME

Just across the Piscataqua River from Portsmouth lies the town of Kittery, Maine. Kittery is a tourist destination known for its many outlet stores, as well as its charming New England homes and communities. It's also home to the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.

Eliot, ME

Eliot is a small New England town located on the northern shore of the Piscataqua River. Modern-day Eliot still retains its historic character, which is seen today in its homes and attractions. For history buffs, the annual Eliot Antique Tractor & Engine Show is always a big hit.
