- Here are 5 Reasons to Love Living in Connecticut (and 5 Reasons You Might Not) - Pros and Cons
Are you relocating and thinking about Living in Connecticut?
I'm discussing things not in a tourist video, brochure or a cute blog post but the information you REALLY need to know before you pick where you want to buy your next house, townhouse or condo.
My team has so many inquiries about where to move to when coming to Connecticut.
I have enjoyed helping people buy their Connecticut homes here from all over the U.S.
I have moved here myself from NYC so I understand what the process is like.
No place is perfect so I am completely honest about the good, the bad and the ugly of moving here.

I grew up in New London, spent a few years in little old Salem, and then back to buy my first home on New London Shoreline near the Coast Guard Academy. Loved the weather, hot summers, very cold winters, gorgeous Fall weather. Colchester is also a hidden gem. I miss living there so much now that I've spend 2019 til the present in Southern Maryland. I wish I had done more research. The" beaches " here in southern Maryland are NOTHIING LIKE OCEAN BEACH...The car tax is obnoxious but other states have other more rotten car 'fees'.... Please just do your research ie, New London has a nursing home every 10 minutes in each direction... here there are just a few for miles and miles. If you are in health care, try to find out everything you possibly can before you move.
I LOVE winter weather.
Born and raised in CT yes it is a beautiful state...the only thing is High Taxes...
I’ve lived in New York, Illinois, Connecticut, and Texas. Connecticut was my favorite place. Texas is next best.
Kindly, why was Connecticut your best-preferred state if you don't mind?. I am planning to relocate to this state soon as a registered nurse from Kenya! I will be settling in BRIDGEPORT city?
I love your perspective! Def will be reaching out soon.
This is exactly what I needed for getting to know Connecticut. 👊🏿👊🏾👊🏼
Glad I could help!
I love hearing/seeing info regarding CT! Good job. And I could absolutely do without the car taxes every July!
Moving there next month and looking for information about renting and possibly buying. Would love to connect
Sure. Feel free to email me at kthomas@wpsir.com so we can set up a Zoom meeting
The car tax sucks, but the roads are great here, as opposed to NYC where the roads suck. I been here for 2 years and love it.
Roads are better- you can tell when you cross the border. For me, NYC is close enough to go back to for the things I miss on occasion.
thanks this was helpful!
I lived in CT all my life and been almost everywhere in CT and I think Hartford County is most affordable in my opinion.
I have seen some really great deals happen in Hartford County. There is a lot of value there!
Thank for for sharing this documentary about the state of Connecticut!.How is Bridgeport city specifically, in terms of house rent affordability and security wisely. I will be relocating to this city early next year as an overseas trained registered nurse!
Happy to help - please email me at kthomas@williampitt.com so I can send you this information
I live in Kentucky. Scenic here.
Thanks for the information. Im looking into a 2/3 bedroom 2 full bath ranch home in a decent area with middle class black families in Connecticut later on as it's close to NYC by my friends and family. What areas do u suggest that's not too far from NYC?
I can think of at least three places which is great for commuting. I can text or email it to you today - 203.903.8751 or kthomas@williampitt.com
The only pros about living in connecticut it that the cops are lenient especially our state troopers All are parks are closed during the holidays because of overcrowding . Let's just say people are not the friendliest that is for sure . connecticut is overrated
I want to move there in July once the school year is up. Preferably Bridgeport close to New York, help me
I would love to help - I can send you some information about the process if you send me an email kthomas@wpsir.com
I’m thinking of moving to Connecticut but I want to move close proximity to the Bronx,like an hour away, I was told Danbury is a good part of Connecticut, what other parts would you recommend? Thank you!
An hour away gives you a lot of options. The Danbury area is a popular commuting choice. You can email me and I can send you a video about your options in those areas. kthomas@williampitt.com
Thank you for this information. I really appreciate it.
Question... I am looking for a place in Connecticut that I can easily commute to Worcester, Boston, and New York City from. I would like at least 2 acres of land, and a fairly diverse area good for raising kids. Do you have any suggestions? And how are the property taxes generally in the state?
Thank you again.
Hi - if you email me at kthomas@williampitt.com , I can send you some suggestions which would meet your requirements: family friendly, two acres and diverse. The taxes actually vary greatly here. I immediately thought of at least five places which could be a great match.
@@relocatetoconnecticut thank you very much, I will soon.
@@inspectah2342 Love to help!
No disrespect intended, but how can CT have over 300 miles of scenic shoreline when the state is only 110 miles along Long Island sound and the other three borders are NY, MA, and RI?
probably a typo and then when I read my notes I repeated it - thanks for the heads up
Hello I’m looking to buy and hold multi families I was told Waterbury and Bridgeport are good
Hi The CT Rental market is very strong regardless of the market shift. In CT the majority of multi families are in the cities (ie Bridgeport, Danbury, Fairfield, Stamford, Waterbury etc). The exception being towns like Hamden which are next to a city but is also a suburb with young energy due to the six colleges nearby. I help my signed buyers by directing them to the available areas and then cross checking how many multi family owners are in pre foreclosure due to renters not paying on time.
Those cities are HIGH crime. Waterbury has super high taxes for home owners
@@leahohlund6469 The question was where are the multi family homes - the majority of multi family homes in this state ARE in those areas .... when someone becomes a client, I do go into depth about the areas specifically for investment options
Thinking of moving to bristol ct is in a good area that is more affordable?
Hi so in the US the average cost of living is on an index of 100. CT itself is 106 which means living here is more expensive but Bristol itself is 104. In terms of housing the state of CT is 103 but housing is 85.
If you would like more info or if you have more questions feel free to text me. I can also send you a video message w details
I've seen houses for 250 in that area I live on long Island which is way more expensive
How is Hartford and West Hartford I’m supposed to be doing an internship there and people making it sound like it’s the worst place known to man.
Def send me a text 203.903.8751 so I can help you find a place for the internship. Just so you know West Hartford comes up in the Best Places to Live in America list a few years running now. I'm actually in the middle of making a Best Places to Live around Hartford CT in the next two weeks👍🏽
West Hartford is nice. Hartford? Might want to avoid
@@slim3030 Blue Back Square is one of the places I like to go to in West Hartford.
Hartford is the slums West Hartford pretty good.
How safe is ct?

what's ct like for black folks?
Even they all moved away...
It's fine for black people. Anywhere is fine for black people. Stop looking for race issues. I say this with love. 🤗
As a relocating New Yorker to CT, there are areas of the state that are receptive and some areas may not be. But thats the same for any state or town. I will be uploading Best Places to Live in ... videos. Not only is the data compiled from the FBI, I will also be covering the areas that I have not had any issues with as well as my experiences. Everyone has a different experience
My boyfriend is black born and raised in Florida and his experience been good for him. He did say he had the best medical care than Florida.
