I believe part of this actually. Its surprising that Nashua for such a low violent crime rate does have all these things. I'd say overall Nashua is good but my main concern would be the higher income hoity toity types and the tech corridor compromising the area. I wouldn't say its rough really but it looks gritty for sure, mediocre restaurants overall, the food is not way too much to be desired.. a lot of chain restaurants. Its things like that more than the roughness factor of Nashua. I could picture a derelict element there though a bit further than where people shop. Nashua and Manchester both are not much to be desired as well. I learned that I don't want to live in either town. I live in Brookline at this time though and while its an ok town, you can get cabin fever out here so if you're not in Nashua you still may have a few complaints about NH. The weather is very depressing this winter actually. I lived in FL and for its own reasons I didn't like it especially Largo/St Pete. Largo at the very least I thought was as trashy as you said Nashua is with a smaller nothing to it downtown. I'd say Nashua is better than there anyhow but ya, Nashua is getting very expensive, people are snooty, not the friendliest and worse when you go more further up I find. Nashua isn't the unfriendliest or snobbiest, but again it could still be better socially I'd say.

Ross, I am guessing you lived in another city named Nashua. I lived in that City for 5 years and then had to move to FL for my job. I am finally able to move back and can not wait. We never worried about locking our door like in FL for Nashua has one of the lowest crime rates in America. Also, the nicest people you would ever meet. The summers were mild unlike Florida and great colors in the fall. It is true that you get 5 months of cold weather with snow during 3 of them but I miss the snow living in FL for the past 10 years. I am as happy moving back to Nashua as you may have been moving out.
