    "Very animal friendly as it is a rural community. Plenty of dog owners throughout the borough. Given the White Memorial Nature Preserve and ample public land, great place to be a dog"

    "Lots of people have dogs and all the various trails, green spaces, parks and public areas welcome them. Sadly, because a lot of streets are not high traffic, people allow their dogs to poop and don’t pick up (or they think it’s ok because they are walking in front of a farm). There are a couple of funky pet supply stores and almost every store has a dish of water outside. All the FedEx, UPS and USPS carriers have treats and know the dogs. Being an agricultural area, there is an abundance of vets!"

    "It’s a great place to live and I definitely highly recommend it for anyone. But a place, grow old in it, do it here. But only if you have the money to afford it because it’s expensive. But lots of history here so do it"

    "Lots of character—New England charm. A popular spot for tourists and retirees from NYC. Lots of great restaurants and cafes, low key bars. Shopping but it mostly comes at a premium. A great sense of community especially surrounding holidays and school events."

    "Litchfield is a wonderful town full of history, activities and community involvement. There are many top notch restaurants, businesses and places to go. White Memorial, Tops mead State Park, Bantam Lake, skiing..The Warner Theatre are all here or within a 15 minute drive. The schools are rated high and are small enough so the kids all know each other or of each other. People from out of town are willing to pay a lot of money to spend weekends here. There are a lot of weekend homes but we are lucky to be able to live here everyday!"
