Retirees come to the “Granite State” for much more than it's famous free-spirited lifestyle. New Hampshire was the first U.S. state to have its own state constitution, and is the only state with neither a general sales tax nor an income tax.

New Hampshire's recreational attractions include skiing and other winter sports, observing the spectacular fall foliage, summer cottages along many lakes, motor sports at the New Hampshire International Speedway, home of NASCAR events and the Loudon Classic, and Bike Week, a popular motorcycle rally associated with the Loudon Classic, held in Laconia in June.

Compared with some other parts of the Northeast, the state is a bargain. Costs in New Hampshire are still about 20% less than in neighboring Massachusetts and 10% less than in New York.
