​This New Hampshire City Is Among 50 Best Places To Live For Families, New Ranking Says

PORTSMOUTH, NH — The best place in New Hampshire to plant roots for a lifetime is Portsmouth, according to Fortune’s new ranking of the nation’s 50 Best Places to Live for Families.

In the analysis, Fortune said Portsmouth, which has slightly less than 23,000 residents, “is rich in quintessential New England charm,” while “offering easy access to explore more of New England’s bigger cities,” like Boston, Massachusetts, and Portland, Maine. Across its nearly 17 miles, there are cobblestone streets, historic architecture, and a peaceful waterfront, as well as a hooping nightlife, happening restaurants, brew pubs, art galleries, and fun family events, too.

“A great place to live not only supports families in the present but also serves them in the long term. With a growing portion of Americans caring for both children and aging parents, more people want to live where multigenerational families can thrive,” the news outlet said.

Fortune said it analyzed more than 2,000 cities and nearly 200 data categories, which included livability, financial health, resources for aging adults, education, and wellness.

The cities chosen, one for each state, are sustainable for both their youngest and oldest residents and include fast-growing suburbs and edge cities that find creative ways to improve people’s well-being, Fortune said.
