I lived in Torrington 5 years of the last six only to move to Denver for medical care and family. Moving back to Torrington. Traffic is not an issue. Denver-7 lanes going s and 3 turns lanes to go down side street to my home.Lots of people stoned in Denver while driving. Never experienced that in Torrington. Hit and runs in Denver. My doctor killed on bike. Never saw that in Torrington.The Warner provides great entertainment at reasonable prices. Lots of church dinners and activities.Three great seasons. Winter, although cold, is shorter than many places in U.S. and Torrington has long growing season with plenty of moisture. Close to UConn ??ealth and Yale is driveable. Only 82 miles from New York.A sense of community with lots of philanthropy.If you travel with the druggies you will find them in every city in the country. I never experienced any people doing drugs.The town is safe compared to most and has farmer’s markets, lots of lakes, great scenery, and a slower pace of life making it an idyllic rural area to live in. I have a point of comparison, having lived in 17 different places both cities and rural and 6 states: Texas, CA, MA, NY, CO, CTGive me Torrington any day of the week. I’ll pay higher taxes. The average house in Torrington is $300,000 less than my house in CO. So even with taxes it is still a lot cheaper to live.
