Thanks very much for the input, refurb. I’m moving to Hanover with my fiancé, hence the first condo that came to mind was Sachem. I appreciate if you can shed some light on the best condo options around the school area. Is White River Junction far from Tuck? People told me that Sachem is not at walking distance from Dartmouth. This may sound silly since we can google all this info; however I’d like to know what the overall feeling students have towards the available options is.
What are the existing options that require a 20 min max walk? I thought that Sachem was the closest option to those with significant others.

WRJ is a good 10 min drive from Hanover. Sachem is not really walking distance, probably a good 1.5 - 2 miles from Tuck.
There are a number of options within a 20 min walk. Tuck is to the west of Main St and there are 3 multi-unit apartments that I know of, plus a number of one-offs as well. These are all within a 10 min walk. If you look to the east of Main St., there are a number more within a 20 min walk.
To be honest, I wouldn't want to walk any further than 10 min, especially in the winter! Here is the kicker: If your a first year student, you can only park by the med school which is a 10 min walk to Tuck. So if you live far enough that you have to drive, you'll be walking 10 min anyways (or waiting for the shuttle). In your first year you'll be going back and forth from school, so it makes life much easier if you can get back and forth from home in under 20 min.
