I came across this site on accident...and loved this post but noticed no one had responded in a while..until today! I was so surprised that no one had mentioned Avon or Simsbury before today since I live in "The Valley" and can't tell you how often people contact me (I'm in real estate) for information on Avon, Canton, Simsbury, Farmington and of course West Hartford and Glastonbury too.
There are so many great things about these towns I could write a book! Michele |

Best (excluding Fairfield County)
1.Cheshire 2. Litchfield 3. New Milford 4. Madison 5. Glastonbury Worst 1. Meriden 2. Naugatuck 3. Bristol 4. Waterbury 5. New Britain yes CT is overpriced but it is such a wonderful state. I'm sad we left it for NC. To me, now after living here, the things that the state offered are much more important than having a 3x bigger house here..all we have here is strip malls, housing developements and chain restaurants..no culture, no diversity, no history..just boredom |

Manchester has Birch Mountain, Porter street and the highland Park areas- very nice homes and neighborhoods.
Also melcat- I agree with you; people flock to NC from all over, and then they discover what you have. It is 'cheaper' then Connecticut, but what you have said is largely true of the state- to some however living a rather bland colorless existence is ok if they save a few bucks. |

So Torrington's one of the worst eh? I can't say I completely disagree with you, but my perception is clouded by the fact that I was born here and can't seem to get out. Are you also from CT?
So, the Bronx? (that's listed as your location)...compared to Torrington? I'm looking into NYC as a possible place to move to (better arts community...putting it mildly!) What's your opinion of where you live now? |

Best (no order, excluding Fairfield):
Farmington West Hartford Simsbury Glastonbury Cromwell Worst: Waterbury Naugatuck New Britain Meriden Bloomfield I lived in Bristol, moving FROM North Carolina (a rarity, I know). Town was dumpy, but I made many good friends there. They did have a bad small town mentality though. I moved back to NC. It's got its quirks, but it's home. |

I think the biggest misconception is that the people are more friendly. Just not true. It is a cookie cutter existence and I for one cannot wait to move back to CT to get away from the hectic lifestyle. |

Yep
NC is merely an illusion- smart people see that- those less enlightened will learn the hard way. |

Hey, I am all for people if they want to live down there and if it makes them happy. But it is sold as this major utopia and there are a lot of people falling for it.
I have posted it all over these boards, please take a trip (or 2) down there to experience how things are if you are thinking of moving. Spend at least a morning and afternoon checking out the traffic and keep your eyes open for construction. There are plenty of sites that talk about the future construction plans of towns too. |
