Located 90 minutes outside of Manhattan, Wallingford offers something for everyone. It is family friendly, safe, and boasts a strong and healthy economy. The town is home to the esteemed Choate Rosemary Hall as well as a well-structured public school system and a variety of other private schools. We moved here from the city back in March 2020 and have loved it ever since! Picturesque with great access to all of CT and the remaining tri-state area.
I appreciate the diversity and the drive for change that many citizens have here. I love the area, and there is such a huge amount of diversity in beliefs and in people. There is a lack of change in the way things are run, however, despite the many years of demand for just that. I wish there was more of a cooperative and adaptive dynamic between the citizens here and the government. There is also some work to do on the educational side of things, not just in academics. There are sometimes questionable standards for educators or policies that I would like to see change in order to improve the safety, well being, mental health, and academic achievement that is currently lacking in this town.
I don’t live in Wallingford but I love to visit. I’m a New Englander who has moved away and I love to come back and visit New England towns. Wallingford offers great restaurants, friendly people, and something to do for everyone. The library is beyond compare. If you’re a reader or even a technology-lover, visit this library. Very advanced with helpful personnel. In autumn I enjoy the apple picking and visiting the Wallingford Victorian Inn just for pictures! Next time I’ll stay. If you live here count your blessings!
