BUSINESS 2.0 - Top 10 Cities: Where to buy now

Manchester, NH Ranks #8

New Hampshire's financial appeal is readily apparent: It has no income or sales tax, and it's within commuting distance of Boston, one of the most expensive housing markets in the country. Manchester, a former textile mill town, is the largest city in northern New England; neighboring Nashua, which twice has won honors as Money Magazine's "best place to live" in America, shares a border with Massachusetts, which has been losing population since 2004.

"The edges of greater Boston are beyond the state boundary," notes geographer Andrew Schiller, founder of Neighborhood Scout. "People know they can move out of Boston, get more house for their dollar, and have a great quality of life."

And now may be a good time to buy, because appreciation rates started dropping in New England several quarters earlier than in the rest of the country. Prices are expected to burst upward again by mid-2007.
