Housing: this is an issue that hits close to home all over the Monadnock Region. Whether you’re trying to find an apartment, buy a house, or downsize in retirement, finding a place to live that works for you – and your finances – can often feel like an uphill battle. And while affordable housing is an issue all over the country, the Monadnock Region of New Hampshire faces some unique challenges. Our rugged geography, aging workforce, and retirees electing to age-in-place all impact what kind of housing is built, where it is built, who it is built for, and when it is available. Socio-economic factors have made it easier for some people to find housing while others still struggle.
