The Lakes Region is one of New Hampshire’s most cherished areas, renowned for its sparkling collection of over 273 lakes and ponds—making it a true waterside wonderland just south of the White Mountains.
At its heart is Lake Winnipesaukee, the state’s largest lake (72 square miles with 253 islands and over 200 miles of shoreline), offering endless opportunities for boating, swimming, waterskiing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and even ice fishing or ice boating in winter. Other standout lakes include Winnisquam, Squam (famous as the filming location for On Golden Pond), Newfound (one of the cleanest in the world), and smaller gems perfect for quieter escapes.
This four-season destination draws families, vacationers, and locals alike with sandy beaches (like Weirs Beach with its classic boardwalk), scenic cruises on the M/S Mount Washington, attractions such as the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, Castle in the Clouds, and the Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad. Summer buzzes with water sports and events like Laconia Motorcycle Week, while fall brings stunning foliage framed by blue water, and winter offers snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and cozy lakeside retreats. Charming towns like Laconia, Meredith, Wolfeboro (the “Oldest Summer Resort in America”), Gilford, and Center Harbor provide great dining, shopping, marinas, and community vibes—ideal for year-round living or second homes.
Laconia, a central hub in the region, blends convenient access to Lake Winnipesaukee with a mix of residential neighborhoods, amenities, and proximity to outdoor adventures.
A recent highlight of our work in Laconia is the successful sale of 108 Nature’s View Drive, Laconia, NH 03246—a beautiful 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath contemporary home (built in 2006, ~3,013 sq ft). This inviting property, with its cheerful layout, public utilities, and serene setting, perfectly captured the Lakes Region lifestyle—easy lake access, peaceful surroundings, and modern comfort. We’re thrilled for the sellers and proud to have helped make this transition smooth in such a sought-after area.
