New London is better. They have an Amtrak train station.

If you have kids New London has a magnet high school right there in town. I think they are trying to make the whole district a magnet district. So if you have kids New London is the only choice.

Overall schools aren't great out that way though. Shelton and Milford are affordable with great schools. Way over in Fairfield and New Haven County.

If you don't have kids New London is best.

Are you looking to buy or rent?

Renting for now. Hard to buy when I don't know enough about the state

Norwich is probably going to have more in the way of detached houses, though if you’re looking to rent an entire house not in an apartment complex in either town you’re gonna be paying an arm and a leg. New London has a better night life than Norwich, though Norwich is closer to the casinos if that’s your style. Ignore people that talk down on either of these two towns, they’re both pretty good places. If you come here sometimes you hear people talk about crime in those towns but it’s basically because there was some crime back in the 90s and now it’s just where minorities live so older folk assume it hasn’t changed.

I grew up in Norwich and have friends in Norwich and my parents house has been broken into and robbed and my friend has had people snooping around their garage at night. The people that robbed my parents house were white actually and drug addicts, so we’re not saying it’s because minorities live there.
