Housing includes a mix of historic farmhouses, seasonal cottages, and year-round waterfront homes. A local marina on the bay keeps things active with boaters throughout the summer, while the rest of the year settles into a calm, quiet pace. Because Tuftonboro is spread out across several distinct village hubs, living in Melvin Village offers a peaceful, small-town feel alongside the low municipal tax rates that attract many buyers to the area.
