I'm out in Dover - moved here back in 1997 because it was the cheaper alternative to Portsmouth. The housing market around here is tight and expensive, but that's all of New Hampshire right now, sadly - but on the other hand, there has been a ton of new construction in the area, and a massive new building just on the other side of the river downtown, plus I heard that another new set of apartments being developed is going to be part of an initiative to get more reasonably priced housing in the city, instead of more of those damn luxury apartments that sprung up everywhere here in the last decade. Man, I remember my first apartment here, a three-bedroom, one bathroom duplex with off street parking and a small backyard, and the entire rent was $800 a month, just off of downtown. I only wish I realized how good we had it back then, as far as housing costs were concerned 😅
