Nashua is a typical town in New Hampshire. The job market and housing markets have cooled in the last few years. But, there are still opportunities here, especially in high tech & software. There are quite a few small software operations. There is a diverse manufacturing base including a Budweiser beer plant in Merrimack and a DOW chemical plant. Housing can be tight and difficult to find in the middle price range. Nashua's close proximity to Boston means many people live in NH and work in Mass. There's no income or sales tax in NH unless you work in MA you pay income tax in any case. There is an active arts community in all disciplines from performing to painting. There is a independant league baseball team and the Toronto AA team is in Manchester, 15 miles. Traffic used to be a big problem but has been alliviated by recent projects. There is a pay per use turnpike for most travel North of Nashua. Fewer younger people seem to be here lately, which is probably a result of the lower job growth. But, there are many places to go in NH and Northern MA by for drinks and a date. Winter can be long but is gernerally more temporate than further west. Money mag rated Nashua No 1 a few years ago and it still has many of those qualities.
