Interesting...where in Farmington are you working? Access can be obtained via Rte 9 from Newington. Or you can look in Unionville. I think they're building houses in a place called Marion, next to Southington. Even Southington is only 2 towns over Farmington to the west.

Devonwood is a large neighboorhood in Farmington off of Rt 4. The homes seem to start around the 500's and go to over 1 million. It is beautiful area. |

Devonwood is very pricey and very upscale. Large homes on somewhat small lots but unusually well laid out so not so to overwhelm the neighborhood. I believe there are over 300 homes in Devonwood that have been built over the last 20 years or so.
davfar - I did not mean to put down Plainville at all. It is a very nice town with a lot of very nice people. Sorry if it came off that way. Jay

To the OP - just stay away from an area to and from Farmington that will constrain you to take Rte 4. It is narrow, congested, and backed up due to people making turns into the restaurants, salons, golf course, etc. They don't plow that worth a darn in the winter as well as they should and the people of Farmington always fight expanding Rte 4. If you must live in Farmington (as I did as well as West Hartford), stay to where you can access Rte 6 and/or 9 although I have experienced being tailgated at the height of winter down the hill at Rte 6 (just before the Rte 10 junction) where it is just 2 lanes. Most people in CT don't really mind the commute and don't know if you do. That is why they don't mind working in Hartford and living in Litchfield for example. I knew of someone who worked in Hartford and commuted daily from Stonington! Lordy!CT is beautiful...I still miss it sometimes....

I used to live in the Devonwood part of Farmington, that's a wonderful place to live. Now I live in Simsbury, which is an even better place to live (no route 4, no I-84).
