It was a rural town when when we moved here 1971 with just 6,000 residents. Now we have 12,855 and we are urban. We are 1 hour from NYC and 2 hours from Boston, 1/2 hour from New Haven,CT. An ideal place to live, easy access to the best education, museums, cultural events, and even beaches. I am 73 and still going to school at OLLI Life Long Learning for Seniors at UCONN in Waterbury plus working part-time at our local library. I belong to a book club and do genealogy. We go to NYC and Boston often for historical events. My 4 children live in different states so we have lots of choices where to vacation. Although Connecticut is an expensive state to live in, we don’t want to move south so we live simply.
