I've just gotten a job at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine, and I'll be looking to relocate from Massachusetts to the Portsmouth area in July. My goal is to eventually buy a house, but for now I'm sticking to apartments. Anything within, say, 20 minutes of the Shipyard is fair game as far as I'm concerned, although closer is better. The area's proximity to the mainline is a HUGE plus; living near the tracks in Portsmouth so that I may see PH-1 from my window would be an added bonus
Does anyone have any recommendations for me as far as apartments go? Also, would anyone care to weigh in on the age-old "living in Maine vs. New Hampshire" debate? I'm not sure how the taxes work, and, since I'll be working in Maine, I'm not sure about whether or not I'll be at a disadvantage living in New Hampshire or vice versa. Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance. I know that this isn't directly relevant to PAR, but I figure there are a lot of people on here with precious insight on this subject that I can't get anywhere else, particularly the railfan aspect of it!
