Stratford is an amazing town with an excellent school system, town life and diversity. Growing up in Stratford has introduced me to a variety of people and allowed me to become familiar with different cultures. Especially the various fairs and events that occur at the gazebo in the heart of the town. The school system has allowed me to get into prestigious programs and onto secondary education. The town is inclusive in the way that it has something for every age group. "The green" is a plaza, gazebo, beaches, parks, playgrounds and proximity to other towns makes it a great destination spot.
Overall, Stratford is a great place to visit or settle down. People from various cultures and backgrounds create for interesting company and its location is perfect for a suburban setting. Never too boring and never too quiet, there is something for everyone in this town!

I have lived in Stratford, Connecticut my entire life. The life in Stratford is your average New England town. Stratford has history, but it has a large selection of public schools from elementary school to high school, and is a very cozy town. The town has a motto of "Forest to Shore" because Stratford has everything from the woods in a lot of peoples back yards, and has the beaches at the other end of the town. Stratford has something for everyone, and does not create a busy atmosphere like other towns might have. Stratford is very spread out and very charming compared to other towns around it such as Bridgeport, Connecticut. Stratford is very family-friendly in terms of lovely and generous neighborhoods, and creates a safe space for these families to flourish. This historic town packs a punch, and learns to strive and succeed in a way that makes room for growth but also makes room to accomodate for the already existing town experience.
