I am considering a move to Torrington from out of state. Unfortunately, my circumstances will require me to move in based on pictures to a rental for a few months. I'm concerned about people who don't watch their kids, loud music, and so on. I'm looking for a very nice, quiet part of town. I am not looking to be hip or trendy or anything like that. I'm trying to narrow my choices down to neighborhoods that aren't known to have a lot of problems. Any information that you can provide will be much appreciated.

Burrville is a relatively quiet area. It's in the northern section of Torrington that borders Winsted.

East Torrington towards New Hartford is fine. That is also where most of the recent development in town seems to be happening.

East Torrington is commonly called Torringford. this side of town has seen a lot of development in recent years. I am not sure about rentals though. Jay

HMMMM, I'm not sure new development is what I am looking for. I'm specifically looking to avoid loud people and areas with teenagers running wild. My experience with new housing is some of it is geared toward those very people. Like I said we are not interested in anything new or hip or trendy or anything like that. We want as boring, old fashioned and such as we can possibly get.

I don't think any part of Torrington could be called hip or trendy. The east side of town is pretty quiet. The new development along Route 202 or East Main is shopping, not housing. There aren't too many new housing developments in Torrington, for the most part. North Torrington towards Burrville is pretty quiet too.

are there any parts of town to be avoided I guess is what I am after. Like anywhere that would attract loud music, kids acting like tough guys, and that sort of thing. You know the wrong element. I know some people don't mind that sort of thing and see it as some sort of badge that they'll put up with all kind of crap but I'm not interested in trying to impress anyone.

I would say your best bet is the outskirts....Northern edge, eastern edge etc.
Just stay away from Downtown and you should be okay.
But loud people live everywhere, so there is no guarantee.

I agree with KHO2. Avoid downtown and southern part of Torrington. Stick with the eastern and northern outskirts.

I see this type of logic often. "Crime is everywhere, so there's no guarantee!" So because something can happen anywhere means it's equally likely to happen everywhere? So why bother trying to live somewhere with a much lesser chance of noise and crime (the two are not necessarily unrelated) when there is no "guarantee"? I don't think people are looking for guarantees. They're just looking for the best chances.
