The highest paid professionals in Connecticut are obstetricians and gynecologists, with other medical professionals such as psychiatrists and dentists also ranking highly. A whole volume of books could be written about the marvelous sights to see in Connecticut. Here are just some of our favorite things to do in Connecticut.
The exterior of the house is as unique as the man himself. Source: TripAdvisor. Take a ride on the Wildcat, which opened in , or the Boulder Dash wooden roller coaster, which was ranked the No. Moving to Connecticut means that you get to experience all of its beautiful state parks, forests, mountains, and waterways, which provide loads of chances to get outdoors. Grab your gear and go camping, hiking, or boating. There are numerous hiking trails in popular locations like Bear Mountain and Bigelow Hollow State Park that offer a feast for the senses.
Connecticut people are great at protecting their heritage, and you might stumble across a gem like Gillette Castle State Park, home of William Gillette, who portrayed Sherlock Holmes on stage. The state also has a host of lovely beaches including Calf Pasture Beach and Clinton. View some creatures of the deep at the amazing Mystic Aquarium. It also has a 4D cinema where you can watch the ocean come to life on the big screen.
Live like one of the academic elite for the day. If you want even more culture, go to one of the many exhibits and plays happening daily or visit the famous Beinecke Library to soak in the tradition and wisdom of the ancient books. Connecticut experiences all four seasons in their definitive form. In the winter, snowfall is frequent, and a blanket of white covers the state. In the spring, there are cool, sunny days, and the state blooms into life with tulips and daffodils and countless events like the New Haven Cherry Blossom Festival.
All of the seasons have something to offer, but when you are moving, there are certain practicalities to consider. The winters in Connecticut can get extremely cold, and you'll also want to get in shape for digging your porch, driveway, and car out of the snow. The best time to move to Connecticut, then, is either in the spring, when you can get ready for the sultry summer ahead and look forward to long days spent at Long Island Sound, or in the autumn, when you can watch the leaves change color and prepare yourself and your home to hunker down for the winter.

Living close to the courthouse I think they're both downtown would be ideal because I don't have a car and I don't think I'll be able to afford one.
Thanks for the information. Last edited by BPt; at AM.. You could pull it off in either city. The courthouse area in New Haven is a lot nicer than in Bridgeport, and there's more going on nearby and more safe, livable, walkable areas too.
In general New Haven is a much better city to live in if you have a choice. You really don't want to liv in either without a car. It can be done but life will be tough. At 50k per year you should be able to afford a car. Originally Posted by Raider Yes, of course. Bus and trains are close by as well. Both downtowns are relatively safe, however you'll see more vagabonds in downtown New Haven due to the more liveliness of the area that others have described.
If you prefer more peace and quiet, then go with downtown Bridgeport, where there are more lamp posts than people. Please register to post and access all features of our very popular forum.

Go figure The buses in Brattleboro are few and far between. Unless you like to walk or use a bicycle, or have access to a car, or reliable access to a driver, it is hard to get around. There is an Enterprise rental car place in town, so if you need a car for a special occasion, you can have one. As has been said, downtown is small.
The Brattleboro Food Co-op is downtown and so is a pharmacy. But most other downtown stores do not sell necessities. You can bicycle or walk to other places in the northern or southern ends of the town, but you will have trouble carrying things.
Large items, of course, can be delivered, but if you buy food at Hannaford or at Price Chopper, chances are you will have to carry it home. I could be wrong, though, so you might want to call them and ask if they deliver to people who don't have cars. Traveling out of town is much harder. There is an Amtrak stop downtown, so you can get to NYC by public transportation. But there are plenty of people of people in Brattleboro who do not have cars, and they get by.
There are even people who have difficulty walking, and they get by as well. Last edited by arel; at AM.. The last time I was there, the Greyhound agency moved to a Sunoco station on US Route 5, next to a shopping plaza anchored by Price Chopper, just north of Exit 1 from This puts you at least a mile south of downtown. I liked it a whole lot more when Greyhound was in the north end closer to Exit 3.
Lodging is quite weak at both sides of Brattleboro. The south end near Exit 1 only has an Econo Lodge, which left little to be desired.
The north end had a Super 8 which was only slightly better. There was also at least two other hotels nearby. As for downtown, the co-op supermarket was still under construction, but should be open now. There used to be a Walmart immediately over the river, but has since moved further into the town. I didn't see anything else on that side of the river, the one time I walked it on February 13, The new Co-op is very busy now, and is a full-fledged supermarket.
The old building has been torn down and is now part of a greatly expanded parking lot. As for lodging, there is the Econo Lodge downtown.
