I am not sure that there is a large Indian community in Enfield. I am sure there are Indian families but I believe they are fewer than you would find in Manchester or West Hartford which have a greater number of them. These towns are about 25 miles from Enfield so you will need to decide if being near a larger Indian community is worth the long commute. That is something only you and your family can decide. Good luck. Jay
Where will you be working? As Jay said, there may be towns with larger Indian populations but if you're working in Enfield or Springfield, that makes more sense. Enfield isn't a bad town--there's still plenty of shopping and dining options and it's pretty affordable.
This is interesting but I am surprised that Manchester and West Hartford don't have higher percentages since both have very popular Indian grocery stores. In fact West Hartford has a couple of them. I was a bit surprised to see a Rocky Hill so high on the list even though I know there are a lot there. Just did not think there were that many. Good information. Jay

Did you notice something strange about that list. It goes number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10. Number 6 Glastonbury and 8 West Haven are way down on the list.
The places (all cities) with the largest populations in the top 10 are Stamford, Danbury, Nowalk and West Hartford. All the other places in the top 10 are smaller towns. Even though some of the small towns have a larger percentage the actual Indian population in total are not that high.
The cities in bold have the most Asian Indians in total and West Hartford is the closest to the OP. That is why West Hartford has the Indian market.
What to expect and where to live in Enfield, CT? I am coming with my family and looking for a place with indian community.
If your job is north of Hartford, a decent apt/condo complex is "Rivers Bend" in Windsor off exit 38 from i-91. Lots of Indians living here. It also has a bus stop in front of the complex if that's important to you.
As others have mentioned, Enfield may not be the right fit but if you do want Enfield, stick to East of I-91.
