#25 Best Places to Raise a Family in Connecticut
Simsbury
Current Resident: I moved to Simsbury 15 years ago with my husband and young kids. We found the community welcoming and friendly and the people down to earth and understated. We feel we've made quality, lasting friendships. The town is very family-friendly. The schools here, both public and private, are fantastic. Recreation opportunities abound, with walking/hiking trails throughout the town, bike path, parks, fantastic town rec facility with pool, ice rink, golf, tennis, paddle, basketball courts, playground, etc. There's a nice selection of restaurants throughout town, ranging from casual to upscale, ethnic options, vegan/gluten-free places. Drive time to Hartford is about 25 min. Simsbury has about 25,000 residents, but it has a surprisingly small-town feel. We truly love our lifes here!... Read 88 reviews
