Living in Gilford

Gilford sits on the western shore of Lake Winnipesaukee in Belknap County, combining lake access with proximity to Gunstock Mountain Resort's skiing and mountain biking trails. The town's mix of waterfront and mountain recreation makes it a year-round destination rather than a purely seasonal one. Gilford's town beach, marinas, and lakeside neighborhoods anchor a summer economy built around boating and tourism, while Gunstock draws winter visitors for skiing and snowboarding. The Lakes Region's summer traffic funnels through Gilford en route to Laconia and Weirs Beach. Housing ranges from modest inland homes to premium lakefront property, with prices rising sharply the closer one gets to Winnipesaukee's shoreline. Gilford attracts families, retirees, and second-home buyers seeking four-season recreation in a single town.
