Laconia pairs classic mill-town character with lakeside living. Set between Lake Winnipesaukee and Lake Winnisquam, the city’s neighborhoods offer variety: the boardwalk energy of Weirs Beach, the village feel of Lakeport, and a compact downtown evolving with eateries, galleries, and restored brick buildings. Outdoor time is practically a lifestyle, with beaches, boat launches, and quiet trails at Ahern State Park. As the seat of Belknap County, services and amenities are close at hand.
Every June, riders roll in for Laconia Motorcycle Week, one of the world’s longest-running motorcycle rallies, while the rest of the year brings lake cruises, leaf-peeping, ice fishing, and community festivals. Music lovers can catch big-name shows next door in Gilford at BankNH Pavilion or carve turns at Gunstock. Upscale dining and boutiques in Meredith add to the weekend options.
Families appreciate strong local schools through the Laconia School District and opportunities to upskill at Lakes Region Community College. Housing spans waterfront condos, classic in-town homes, and new builds on quiet streets, with commute connections via Route 106, Route 3, and I‑93 to Concord and the wider region.
