Reply to comment by SaysKay in Considering moving to CT by SaysKay

I grew up in Newtown (parents moved from the city to the area) and it was not very diverse, but the schools were great and it checks your other boxes. We went to the city frequently and my parents worked in Westchester. Good luck in your search!

We visited some houses in Newtown today and it felt SO RURAL. I definitely need something that feels more like a city!

I could see that! I don’t know how much it’s changed since mid-00s when I moved, but you generally had to go to the surrounding towns for anything more than a grocery store. And we lived kind of “in town” so it was a little walkable, but other areas definitely not. My parents got used to it, but it was definitely a change from NYC to be there.
