Second Melanie. We moved from OK to CT 5 years ago and didn’t have time to come for a visit here so we did a couple apartment walk throughs virtually with her. In New Haven, you don’t pay the realtor fee, the landlord does so it’s technically a free service for you. Wooster square is where it’s at!

Reply to Moving to CT from OK by mugzy86

Welcome! I moved from OK to New Haven around 5 years ago. New Haven’s a great town, is there a reason why you don’t want to live in NH Proper? I felt it was a good “transition city” and not a huge shock coming from the south. East rock, Wooster Square, and Westville are the great neighborhoods to be in. I think some other good towns you could consider are milford, Woodbridge, hamden, guilford, and these seem to be more “family” towns than to someone who is young and single (if that’s you). I can’t speak to the community aspects of those towns, but I’ve spent some time in each and have found charm in all of them. You would definitely need a car if you were to live outside of New Haven. For nearby hiking theres of course east rock, west rock and sleeping giant. Popular beaches are Hammonasset state park in Madison or Silver Sands in Milford. New Haven has a ton of entertainment at College St Music hall / Westville Music Bowl if that’s your thing. Food and drink are really great, but honestly too many to list!

Reply to How to travel to Bradley by Proof_Buy7675

What I’ve done in the past

  1. take the CT rails Springfield line. Scheduled a pickup with Lyft at the Windsor Locks station at the time that the train is supposed to be in. Then it’s like a 10 min drive to Bradley. This only works if there’s train times that work with your flight. We’ve also parked at BDL and the parking wasn’t that expensive.

  2. fly out of LGA: take Metro North but get off at Harlem 125th, get into a cab downstairs and cross the RFK bridge. It’s only about a 20 min drive or less.

  3. there’s also Newark, you can take the amtrak northeast corridor straight to Newark Airport then you take a tram to the terminal. We did this for international flight and it was a long day, but better than driving tbh.
