The Lakes Region of New Hampshire is known for its rural communities, quaint towns, scenic lakes, and mountain vistas. It’s no wonder that our region has been experiencing a robust and vibrant real estate market. We are a sought-after location, which has resulted in an affordability crisis. The influx of new residents and second homeowners calling New Hampshire home has caused a strain on our local housing inventory; because of the shortage of inventory, prices have shot up considerably in the last 4 years, and, as a result only, 61% of the homes for sale in the state are affordable to people earning the median income.
In the greater Laconia area, there are several condominium communities to consider that have remained affordable. I thought I would highlight one of those communities:

The Village at Winnipesaukee offers a prime location at the center of the Lakes Region’s activities. Located in Laconia, ¼ mile from Weirs Beach off Route 3, these popular and affordable condominiums make an ideal second home/vacation property or starter home.

The Village at Winnipesaukee was constructed years ago before land and & construction costs accelerated at a rapid pace, and over the years, recent improvements have been made, updating the entire complex. All the units have cinderblock masonry walls between units for soundproofing and fire protection, as well as concrete construction for the ceilings, which adds structural integrity and soundproofing qualities. The grounds are nicely landscaped with lawns, mature trees, nice walkways, and hardscapes – the outdoor pool complex, which was completely rebuilt, is a very popular amenity with a spacious lounging area and a nice ambiance. The property is centrally located to all Lakes Region activities, and the price point is attractive. Finding anything this affordable in the Lakes Region that can be used for year-round living with quality amenities is very difficult.
