      Conway is stunningly beautiful. It has all the amenities you need while still having some of the best nature in the country with it being next to the White Mountains National Forest, ski resorts and tons of lakes. If you ever get a chance to live here, take it, because Conway is one of the best places to live in the U.S. The only downside is that there's no racial diversity in the residents but you will still see some due to tourists but the number of tourists is not something you will have to worry about.

      A magical place! I love getting a peppermint tea and wandering around, people-watching and petting dogs, in this little village, as the sun sets over the snowy mountains.
      Conway is a great recreational town for families - lots of mountain biking, climbing, skiing, hiking, etc. Plenty of job opportunities but overall career opportunities are lacking.
