Why I chose Torrington over bigger cities
You can expect to pay around $816 for rent here. The median home value here is around $194,100, which is actually reasonable. Rent is about $816/month for a decent place. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The city has invested a lot in new development. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The weather takes some getting used to.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Lots of new development
- Good healthcare facilities
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Cold winters
- High property taxes
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Chain restaurants dominate
