Gilford stretches from the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee up into the Belknap Mountains, right next to Laconia. It offers lake living in summer and skiing in winter, and like all of New Hampshire it has no state income or sales tax.
Gilford offers waterfront and water-access homes along the lake, neighborhoods near Gilford Village, condominiums, and homes on larger lots toward the mountains. Waterfront homes are priced very differently from inland homes, so ask us for recent comparable sales.
Gilford's public high school is Gilford High School. Visit the Gilford School District website for current school information.
Gunstock Mountain Resort offers skiing and four-season recreation, Ellacoya State Park has a sandy beach on the lake, and the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion hosts summer concerts.
Gilford's 2025 property tax rate is $11.85 per $1,000 of assessed value.
