Random thought, Household incomes average around $47,500 in Litchfield. With a population of 1,391, Litchfield is a small town. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The weather takes some getting used to. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Am I wrong here? Thanks for reading. The weather takes some getting used to. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

Came here for school and stayed because it exceeded my expectations. The housing market is honestly surprisingly good and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a pharmacist who relocated here from Chicago about 9 years ago. The main reasons were school and a fresh start.
Pros I've experienced:
- Good schools in most areas
- Affordable housing options
- Diverse dining options
Cons that are real:
- Winters are long and cold
- Limited shopping options
Financially, we've found it tough compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are established, gas is underrated.
Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. No regrets on my end..

Bought a house here in 2022 and it's exactly what I was looking for. Property values have gone up a bit since then.
