Doesn’t look or feel safe and like people are saying there’s clearly a bad part of town and that spills over. There are much more pleasant areas nearby to live. Portland, rocky hill and Cromwell come to mind.

I’m okay with being downvoted by telling you the honest truth that absolutely not will you be completely safe in Middletown-it’s 100% one of the largest hubs of drug users in the state. The food pantry on Main Street is one of the most visited in the state, I’ve volunteered there. That being said it’s a far step from being some sort of hellscape. It’s just, relatively, one of the worst areas in ct and idk why people would pretend otherwise then that they live there and can’t admit it. I have family that way in Hartford even though there’s regularly a murder around the corner

There’s no way Middletown is worse than Meriden or New Britain, never mind places like Bridgeport.

I didn’t say it’s the worst place in ct I said it’s amongst them and there’s way better alternatives to consider if you’re moving across the country to live here.

If you are scared of cities and diversity, I guess Middletown is not for you. If you want to live in a predominantly white suburb CT has many options for that.

I’m not scared of I’m rational. Idk where you live but I’m in Hartford right now, I’ve been attacked by dogs, my elderly neighbor was knocked out and robbed outside of his home recently, I can’t stop thinking about a kidnapping I witnessed. You can try and make things weird and racial all you want for whatever reason, but parts of ct fucking suck.

...OK....and Middletown is nowhere near that bad. If you think it is, you need to expand you world view or something.

Compared to Seattle Middletown is a quiet small city with a very very small amount of drug activity on the main st. No tents anywhere, no one sleeping on the street. Crime in Middletown is nothing compared to the much poorer cities in CT- Hartford New Haven Waterbury Bridgeport. Even in CT’s cities the homelessness/ drug activity pales in comparison to west coast.
