Killingly, CT (Hartford, Manchester, Southington: housing, rent, income)

[tpitt]

Is there anybody out there with info on Killingly, CT? In particular the Green Pond Hollow townhouses currently under construction. Is it a small rural town? I'm from CT but my knowledge base of eastern CT is very limited. Any information would be appreciated.

As for Green Hollow Pond, there will be 42 2-bedroom, 1 1/2-bath units. Common charges are estimated to be $165. The units will have propane heat, central air, and a one-car garage. Kitchens will have granite countertops. Laundry room will be on the upper level.

Good luck...a friend of mine just moved from Southington to Danielson in January.

Killingly population 17,700 is a pleasant town located in extreme eastern CT, it is next to the Rhode Island border, and is about 35 minutes to Providence RI, & 55 minutes to Hartford.

Northeastern CT remains mostly rural, and has a slow pace of life, Though Killingly has seen a 7% growth in population since 2000.

Very small town feel in a rural area. The downtown is old - not a whole lot there. You'll have to drive a ways to get to a mall or any major shopping, though there is a new shopping center being built in Danielson. You can go to Providence, Waterford, Worcester, or Manchester for things to do. Worcester is about 20-30 minutes, the other towns are 45 minutes.

Housing is still reasonable in comparison to the rest of the state. There's a mix of income levels. The people are friendly and, for the most part, easy to get a long with. Woodstock and Pomfret are neighboring towns that very pretty with small shops and galleries.

We lived there about six years and enjoyed the area very much.
