My spouse and I AND my mom were also set on a different location originally (Farmington Valley) but after a little while seeing what we could get in the valley for the same price as somewhere out East, we sucked it up and just did it. We were pleasantly surprised!!

But also, if she wanted to be closer to the shore, towns like Salem might better fit the bill.

I totally feel you and it’s a national problem. However, might I recommend eastern CT? Depending on the type of town you’re looking for, I’ve always found eastern CT to be underrated. Willington is a nice, bigger town with a good amount to do. Anywhere near Storrs. Even further east towards RI, you’d be close to providence.

Edit: clarifying that eastern CT is generally far cheaper than the rest of CT. Forgot to state that explicitly haha
