Lebanon offers a wide range of housing to appeal to all tastes, family sizes and budgets. Individually constructed homes are plentiful and varied, from historic New England farmhouses to contemporary ranches or pre-constructed modular homes.
There are also many other housing choices available – housing developments with covenants, apartment complexes, condominiums (both stacked and townhouse style), mobile home parks and retirement communities.
Based on actual sales, median home prices range from $225,000 to $250,000. Just over one-third of the housing units in Lebanon are rented, with the median rental agreement at an average of $1000 per month. The housing inventory includes approximately 3,000 single-family homes, 3,000 multi-family homes and just over 200 mobile homes.
Several retirement communities, senior housing and assisted living facilities are scattered throughout the Lebanon area. Some offer specific lifestyles for retired persons who choose to live with their contemporaries; others provide assisted living of various degrees for elderly persons with medical needs.
Nationalgrid provides the area with electric service. Verizon is the primary provider of telephone service, although several local independent companies also serve the area. Comcast provides the area with cable television service. There are a number of oil and propane dealers in the Upper Valley and surrounding area, many of which are listed in the member directory at the back of this book.
The Valley News, which is located in Lebanon, serves the Upper Valley as the primary daily newspaper. The Connecticut Valley Spectator is a weekly newspaper published Thursdays. Several local radio stations are operated by Clear Channel, Vox Radio Group and Koor Communications.
