What surprised you most about Portsmouth?

Hey folks, I relocated for work and Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem challenging.

I've been here 15 years and it exceeded my expectations. The thing nobody mentions is outdoor recreation. It's affordable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the nightlife is legit. And if you're into rock climbing, this place is underrated.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Uptown side vs the West side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Feel free to reach out with questions..

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it's been a really good experience overall. Good luck with whatever you decide..
