So, I'm retired and Crime rate is something to consider -New London sits at 294.2 per 100K. Homes are going for about $234,800 on average. Poverty rate is 17.1%, which is higher than I expected. The median home value here is around $234,800, which is actually reasonable. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Worth the trade-offs?

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I have mixed feelings honestly. Feel free to reach out with questions..

We moved here with our family and it's not perfect but it works for me. Schools in Cedar Grove area are decent. Kids love it here.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem improving.
I've been here 4 years and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The thing nobody mentions is healthcare. It's stable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the food scene is legit. And if you're into golfing, this place is solid.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Old Town side vs the Sunset side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
