Your money will go a lot farther east of the CT river.

I like New Haven as well - stuff to do and amazing food options but you may find you have a much smaller property than you'd like.

I was blown away at how much land I could buy in Eastern CT vs. Western CT.

Honestly I want a smaller home. I had a large home in Texas and it was nice, but also sucked in so many ways. We aren’t consumers so not only do I not want to clean/maintain a large home, but I don’t want to try to fill it. Our TX home was more than half empty after almost 4 years there. We just don’t like to consume.

Definitely opens up more possibilities.

I was referring to amount of land in my post but depending on what you like doing, that may not be important.

Ah! Sorry, missed that. Yes I’d love to have a garden. I don’t need a giant one, but I’d love some space and trees without being too far removed from civilization. I love nature and wildlife. :)
