CT's middle ground
-
7/23/2006
As a relative newcomer to WH, I see it as a middle ground in CT - not an NYC suburb(Greenwich etc), not a sprawling, McMansion, cars-only "town" (Farmington), not city, and not country.
What's nice is that there are actually sidewalks and a town center here, unlike in other parts of Connecticut, where people live in giant homes on giant lots, turning farmland into giant suburbs. There is also a fair amount of ethnic and religious diversity, a good school district, and three major natural/organic grocery chains.
Downside - I don't know if I'll ever be able to buy a home, even in WH's housing market, where the housing stock is more divers than other parts of CT.
