May be working near Montville. Have middle and high school boys so schools important. Looking for little land with approximately $400,000 to pay for home. Any suggestions?
I'd throw Colchester. also. However, I would recommend staying west of the CT River, just for ease of commuting. Any accident or construction on a bridge and you're a captive audience.
East Lyme is considered to have the best school system in south east CT, followed by Old Lyme.

The OP will be working in Montville so they would want to stay EAST of the Connecticut River, not west, to avoid having to commute across a bridge.
There are many nice towns that would fit the OP's needs. I would also add Salem to the list as well. For information on schools here in Connecticut, check the website below. Look for a school that performs at or above the state average on the Connecticut Academic Performance Test which is given to all high school students. Jay
Salem is nice, they use East Lyme high school after grade school. It's a way down to East Lyme on the bus or running your kids around to practices, etc.

I'd also add that the schools in Essex/Deep River (Valley Regional), Haddam/Killingworth and East Haddam are also good school systems as well. And, if you live in Deep River or Haddam, you can also get over the river in East Haddam those days when there is an accident on the bridge over 95.
The OP could also consider Marlborough & Hebron as well, as RHAM (Regional Hebron, Andover & Marlborough) is also a good school system. I think Andover might be too much of a commute to Montville, though, unless I'm forgetting something?

I'm in Marlborough and can be in Montville in about 30 minutes. It is a super easy drive and relatively traffic free. I think you're right, Andover may be a little far, putting you towards the 45 minute mark.
