Cost of Living
A huge benefit to living in Portsmouth is the low cost of living, including no state income taxes or sales tax. In fact, according to money.com's Salary Calculator, if your salary is $50,000 living in Portsmouth, you'd have to make over $72,000 to maintain the same quality of life in Boston.
Also driving the high quality of life in Portsmouth is the relatively low cost of buying a home. Last year, the median price of a three-bedroom home was about $165,000; this puts home ownership in reach of those for whom it would be impossible in Boston or New York.
