What is your favorite Connecticut town? Why? What is it that makes you feel so good there?

I know it goes without saying, but just in case; lets exclude the cities.

Any town with a "Welcome to Massachusetts" sign.



For real though i prefer the coastal town of eastern CT like Stonington.

I would say Sterling or Voluntown. Extremely peaceful, no corporations, no rich people, no traffic, no New Yorkers. Just natural beauty and silence.

I like a few towns. I'm fond of Milford, Branford, Guilford and Madison along the coast. I like Old Saybrook and east, but they're too far away from civilization for me. I'm kind of "over" lower FFC. It just doesn't do it for me, although it does benefit from location. Take location away, and I'm just not digging it anymore. I will say, money no object - I'd love to live in Southport along the water. It's breathtakingly beautiful there in the warm months.

I also like the northwest towns - Litchfield, Kent, Washington, Roxbury. Although I wouldn't want to live in them, I like some action and activity. They are great to visit though. If I had tons of money, one of my houses would be a house on Lake Waramaug.

I really like where I am in Milford. I think Madison would be my other choice if I had a job option near there, which I don't. I have to be near lower FFC in my industry.

That's funny. I've known a lot of people from New Milford and none of them are very fond of their own town. Including a close relative of mine that just moved from there.

It really depends on my mood.

Bridgewater is almost unbearably gorgeous in all seasons..

However I'm a huge fan of coastal areas and love Stonington as well.. one of my best memories is of going out to the point there with the best girlfriend I've ever had.. it's quieter than touristy Mystic and more beautiful as well, IMO.

It's a huge town - some areas I've been in, I want out of immediately. Some I've absolutely loved. I think people are shocked when they get to New Milford at the diversity in people, education level, socioeconomic background etc.

Branford, where I live. It has everything from stunning shoreline estates to small apartments and even a few trailer parks.
