Current Resident: Beautiful little Town that is mostly rural. Short drive to Norwich for anything you might need. Grocers, hardware, restaurants, bars, casino, many small service businesses. Drive time to Hartford = 35 mins, Groton/New London = 20 mins. Jobs available at EB shipyard, Casinos, Navy contractors, etc Great little Elementary school (Fields Memorial) and Norwich Free Academy which is a unique school. Privately run that area Towns choose to send their kids to. Many offerings, but you get out of it what you put into it. My children did well and all 3 went on to College. Bozrah is a great place to live and raise a family in. If you don't need a Starbucks on every corner (but there IS one in Norwich!) and are very low crime and comparatively lower taxes, check out Bozrah... Read 4 reviews

Current Resident: It's a small town, which means it's relatively quiet around here and everyone pretty much minds their one business. The traffic is low and we have small conveniences in town such as a gas station, low cost expanded convenience store, family restaurant, and a Dunkin Donuts. There's even a nice little park area with a pond and boat launch. Great town to raise a family or just simply live a simple, peaceful life.... Read 5 reviews

Parent: This is an amazing school with excellent and inspirational teachers. The administration of the school has been in good hands as well. I love the quality of the students and the volunteerism of the parents. The community is real. I don’t intend to say that everything is perfect, but it’s the best I have seen or experienced. Everyone can find a supportive peer group if they engage. The young women who graduate from Visi are poised, confident and competent. Both of my daughters have gone here and although they couldn’t be more different in their natures they have both made friends that will last them a lifetime while getting a world-class education. I couldn’t recommend anything we have engaged in as a family more highly that this amazing gem of a school. It nurtures the young ladies talents and allows them all of the academic tools they will ever need!... Read 106 reviews

Current Resident: My wife and I moved to Andover a few years ago. I work in a regional middle school/high school and Andover is one of the towns it serves. It's a very small town of 3,000 people - much smaller than my wife or I were used to. It is a quiet, rural community. The people here are very friendly and the town has a neighborly feel with everyone in town helping out those around them. It's still close enough to get to Hartford, but quiet enough that we feel like we have privacy. There is not much happening in town as far as shopping or entertainment, but you can travel 20 minutes to the Manchester area which has everything you need for shopping and restaurants....

Former Resident: What I like about Plainfield, CT is how everyone is family oriented. It is a small town where everyone knows each other. We are all family in this small community. Everyone is willing to give out a hand in the time of need. Not only that but we work as a community to improve the needs and necessity for our communityand around us. It tought me a lot about team work, being able to help others, care for others and not onlythat but to also cherish people. What I would like to see change in my community is the lack of diversity and the acknowledge of it. Since most of us were born and lived here our entire, some even never step foot outside the state they lack the common sense of diversity and knowledge. Diversity is a big key in this nation and knowing a little will boarden certain mindsets.... Read 33 reviews

Sure I have to drive 20 minutes for a chain shopping store. But I don't sit in traffic. I know my neighbors.

Current Resident: Lovely downtown area, amazing nightlife; cute little shops opening all the time. Check out the playhouse as well its definitely a great treasure to discover in this part of CT. There are a ton of fantastic restaurants in town such as The Black Dog, or The Stomping Ground. Great places to go if you're in your 20s, housing is affordable although as with any city, there will always be an area that doesn't necessarily look "safe" thankfully the police department here is very active in the community and show up often during city functions such as first fridays, the water fires, or the holiday light parade to name a few....

Planning and zoning you can have a small farm /nursery anywhere in town just look at where you live for any possible restrictions. Big sense of community. Town is always doing something it could be art on main which happens once a month or farm day. Housing is fairly well priced. Crime there’s been car break ins, but that has been happening statewide as I write this. Schools have been decent. Nice town with over all friendly people.... Read 19 reviews

Current Resident: Looked at a variety of places before settling on this area. We love it. Moved here from Nassau County, NY (getting too crowded there; number of arrogant people increasing). Pomfret is more rural than "suburban rural"; the proportion of protected land (town and organizational preserves, purchased development rights) is reasonably high. There are still some farms left; mostly small. There are adequate resources for shopping and dining within 12-15 miles; enough, but not a lot, in town. This general area is called the "Quiet Corner" and the "Last Green Valley" (q.v.). Pomfret is less conservative than it was; whatever their leanings, people are public-spirited. The general area tends to be moderate to conservative. Educational quality is good; higher ed options, including UConn, are within ~30 minutes. Healthcare is good, and specialties well-represented; major illnesses and some treatments (major heart surgery, e.g.) are sometimes referred to UMass/Worcester or Hartford Hospital.... Read 7 reviews

Current Resident: It is a small rural town in central CT with lots of back roads and not a single stoplight in town. If small towns are your thing, Moodus is great for you, it takes at least 20 minutes to reach a larger grocery store, and longer to shop at a department store. The people are nice, but it is very politically split which can lead to unrest. It's not exactly a "fun" place to grow up as a teenager because there is nothing to do, but it's safe. It also has great hiking trails.... Read 13 reviews

Former Resident: Woodstock is actually a large town despite its ruralness. There isn't much to do in Woodstock on a day-to-day basis, and cities such as Hartford or Boston are quite far. There are events such as the Woodstock Fair and camps such as Camp Woodstock, but these sorts of activities aren't really for everybody.However, the education I received through Woodstock's school system makes up for the lack of interesting activities.

Alum: I was at Ideaventions from 7th grade through 12th grade, and it was a phenomenal experience. The teachers give high quality, engaging lessons. Roughly half of the classes are project based, even the English classes, something that I think is great when it comes to learning how to work effectively. The engineering classes are all hands on, where the classwork revolves around designing and building systems. The math curriculum is deep and efficient, the teachers present the information in an efficient manner that gets at the core axioms of a concept which us students then extrapolated and implemented in order to solve problems, a method I find to be far superior to the traditional approach of memorizing steps to solve problems. The clubs! These were the best part of the school, and there are all kinds of fun clubs. A few of my favorites were the Naturalist club, Inventor's club, Math Honors Society, Dungeons and Dragons club, and the Sysadmin club. I 100% recommend this school.... Read 10 reviews
