Demographics
North Conway is the heart and center of the White Mountain tourism region, the “backyard” for millions of people that live in the New England region, including Boston, Providence, and Montreal. And, it’s just a few hour’s drive from the mid-Atlantic population centers of New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The area is the second home for vacationing families, adventurous young people and active seniors all year round and is visited by thousands of international visitors from South America, Europe and Asia. In fact, over 11 million visitors come to the White Mountain Region to experience the very best New England has to offer in outdoor activities.
The abundance of shopping options such as Lowe’s, Home Depot, T.J. Maxx and the 60 plus stores at Settlers’ Green Outlet Village make North Conway the regional shopping hub for over 100,000 residents in the county, and the tax-free status also assures a substantial draw from western Maine.
