Top 5 things I love about Newington
First post here. I work in food service and Homes are going for about $560,900 on average. The unemployment rate is 2.4%, which is pretty low. With a population of 13,824, Newington is a small town. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Growing food scene
- Good schools
- Low taxes
- Active local events
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Sprawl everywhere
- Lack of diversity
- Not enough green space
Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The suburbs are where most families end up. The weather takes some getting used to. The weather takes some getting used to. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.
