There are certain towns/areas that have MUCH better schools and overall feel. However, they are kinda random in location. Which area you choose (ie. Glastonbury vs. Cheshire vs. Avon/Simsbury) depends on your daily commute. They may look fairly close together on a map, but towns like Simsbury do not have an entrance to the highway. So what should be a short commute ends up being 45 min+
