Killingworth is a small rural town, abundant with trees and wildlife, surrounded by state forest. The schools are well regarded and homes are still reasonably priced. Although quite rural in nature, while bordering several shoreline towns, you are still within 10 min to a reasonably sized grocery store and 15 min from any amenity you could want (medical care, restaurants, groceries, outlet shopping. shoreline, state parks, etc). Internet and cell service are very good. Lots are zoned for at least 2 acres and many people own horses and livestock. People are very friendly, welcoming and civically involved. In 1863 Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote the poem "The Birds of Killingworth" after observing and hearing all the songbirds that you will find find in our woods and fields. We are very fortunate and proud to live in a small, safe town in the woods.
Killingworth is a beautiful, growing town with rural charm. The schools are excellent, with low student-to-teacher ratios that you’d generally only find in private school settings. There are miles of public hiking trails and wooded country roads, but you have the added benefit of being only 10 minutes from Long Island Sound beaches (with resident beach rights in Clinton— the best of both worlds!). Home prices are excellent, especially compared with neighboring Madison. And most importantly of all, despite the many beautiful old farmhouses and new builds to choose from, it is a truly down to earth place to live. Worth the extra few minutes on the commute to come home to this small town—a great place to raise a family!
Killingworth is a small town that I have lived in my entire life. The people that I have met here have been and are going to continue being my friends for life. Although it is sort of a pain to have to drive an amount of time for a grocery store, or a mall, in the end it does not matter because compared to other towns, Killingworth is great. The school system has been ranked number eleven in the country, so the kids are getting a great education. The only thing I woulfd change aboutKillingworth is that they need to add more activities, because a lot of the kids never stick around the town because there is not much to do.
