Hey, Household incomes average around $98,585 in Newington. Homes are going for about $279,900 on average. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Let me know your thoughts. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is weather. the quality of life is solid. Worth doing your research before committing.

As someone who grew up here, the quality of life is solid. A lot has changed in the past few years though. cultural scene used to be much pricey but now it's challenging.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a social worker who relocated here from San Diego about 6 years ago. The main reasons were my partner's job and work.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Far from beaches/mountains
Financially, we've found it improving compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are manageable, gas is decent.
Socially, I genuinely enjoy living here. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
