My wife and I movced from the west coast to Middletown a couple years ago. We live right on the Cromwell/Middletown line, and we like it. We're like 10ish minutes from downtown by car/Uber, so we can still go out and enjoy the nightlife.

Do NOT rent at Middletown Brooke. We lived there for a while, and it sucks. The maintenance staff takes forever (sometimes MONTHS) to get to anything, even things like leaks. The office staff doesn't care about your issues either. We had multiple maintenance requests on the residents' portal get marked as complete when we never even saw, let alone let in, a maintenance person.
