Talk to a good realtor. We were looking rural low tax. The truth about CT is the more inconvenient the location the lower the taxes. But stacked side to side lower tax areas have better schools, less crime, because shit bags can't afford the entry price. There are sneaky low tax communities. Like 6 miles to a secondary state road and 25 minute round trip for milk. If you want closeness to anything price that. Want to live x minutes to blank... It's all taxes v. Service...
