North Branford is a rural town and if coming from a busier urban area, it can be viewed as boring and quiet. But, as someone who was raised in that town and now studying in a more suburban area, I have come to appreciate North Branford that is full of grass and trees. I am glad I was raised in a place where I had much free space to play and fresh air to breathe because I have visited children where their main location of the play is indoors and it is usually a small area.
I love living in North Branford, CT. I have lived hear my entire life. (I was even born in my basement here in North Branford!) Although, on the surface, it may not seem like there is much to do in this town, my friends and I always manage to have fun here. In the summer there is a huge field of sunflowers that people from all over CT come to view and take pictures by. Also, in the summer there is the annual Potato and Corn Festival (POCO Fest) which takes place in August. This festival has food trucks and vendors, rides, and carnival games. Furthermore, there are great ice cream places, including one called "Rose Orchards" which serves locally made custard. Rose Orchards is located on a farm where customers can buy their custard and feed the animals. absolutely love how dog friendly North Branford is. My entire neighborhood block seems to have dogs. I also find the people here to be friendly. Overall, I love North Branford and would love to live here forever.
The schools are nice though the high school lacks AC in the summer and heating for a portion of the winter. There is a Big Y locally, McDonald's, Dairy Queen, and Dunkin' Donuts. All in all, it's a pretty nice town with minimal interaction with nosy neighbours.
