    "I live on 18 acres in a very rural part of town but I’m only 2 miles from the center of town. Grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants and many other stores are only 5 minutes away. Also very easy access to the highway. "

    "Colchester offers a nice, country-living feel with well-established families. It’s central location makes for an easy commute to New London, Norwich and Hartford, and also weekend attractions like the coastal shore, vineyards and more touristy towns like Mystic, Stonington and Westbrook. Great place for families and pets!"

    "Friendly and kind. People are always around to help and neighbors are great. Only complaint is that there isn’t enough variety of restaurants here. Some small owned bistros and Chinese and pizza. That’s pretty much it though besides subway, McDonald. And Wendy’s which I don’t go to anyway. "

    "Dog owners are always out walking or jogging with their dogs. Our town has a very nice dog park. Our town also has pooch gatherings on the town green especially the one where owners dress up their fur babies for Halloween called pumpkins & pooches. I’d like to see people pick up after their dogs more when they’re walking down the street. I’ve driven by pet owners while their dog is going #2 and watch the person walk away without picking it up with a poop bag. They should bring doggie doo doo bags to clean that up and put it in a trash dumpster. "

    "A haul. The trade off of a quiet neighborhood is a long and inconvenient drive to work. Route 2 is the only way to get anywhere and if it gets backed up it can cause major delays. To get to work on time I have to leave very early. "

    "The school system here sucks. The elementary is the worst. Principal awards the bad kids and the good ones are ignored. Horrible education levels as well. They don’t even give homework because they feel it’s to demanding on the kids."

    "Festivals on the Green are reliably a part of life in Colchester. Our town is becoming a great place to go out to dinner, with a couple of new restaurants providing exciting farm-to-table fare, not to mention quite a few farms where you can grab your own produce, cheese, or meat for your own table!"

I know my neighbors across from and next to me by their first name and we all help watch out for each other. It’s a great place to have grown up and I can’t wait to raise my family here!"
