That's good to know. Though, would you mind elaborating on "nothing more than you would normally find in an upscale suburb?" I've always lived in small towns (a few towns past the suburbs to what one would consider "country") so I'm not sure what to expect. Thank you for being so helpful!
Glastonbury is a town with 33,000 people and is the home to a number of businesses and retail establishments. It is not unusual for there to be some burglaries, shop lifting, traffic mishaps and some domestic incidents. There is a relatively small drug problem in the schools though from some of the media coverage people would paint it as running rampant. It is not. You will find these same things going on in other towns like West hartford, Farmington, Avon and Simsbury, as well as places like Wethersfield, Newington, windsor and South Windsor. This even happens in small towns like Bolton Hebron and Burlington. Unfortunately it is part of most of America these days. Jay
Our family is looking to possibly move to the South Windsor area in the next couple of months. I've been reading everything I can find in hopes of finding a town that is a good match. I'd love some input!
Our criteria:
1) Good schools (two young kids)
2) Low crime
3) Nice, walkable downtown area (sidewalks, nice shops and restaurants)
4) Homes within walking distance to downtown with mature trees and character (around $500,000-$600,000)
5) Short commute to South Windsor (15-20 min or less)
Does this town exist?! Thanks!

Im in south windsor. I think 1. 2 and 5 are good for south windsor. There really is no downtown unless you are counting either Geisslers or stop and shop and neither are really walkable

But South Windsor has Evergreen Walk which is a walkable lifestyle shopping center. It is very nice. Jay
How about Windsor CT, we're thinking of moving there.
