53 James Dr, North Windham, CT 06256

"I lived in this area for 26 years. It has always been a great neighborhood! You have plenty of privacy while still being close to others to feel comfortable and supported. It is a great neighborhood for children or retirees. Beacon Rd. is only five miles from downtown where there are several restaurants and a variety of shopping for food and other needs. The schools do not get the credit that they deserve, but they are very progressive and they offer a variety of educational support services, both for the students and the staff. The student population is diverse and there is a brand-new state-of-the-art science-based school for grades K thru 8. They offer a variety of sports and other extra-curricular activities; football, soccer, track, swimming, baseball, softball, wrestling and tennis. They also offer before and after-school child care programs for grades K thru 8. There is a State University in the town of Willimantic, Eastern CT State University and UCONN (the University of CT') is only 17 miles away. Manchester CT is only about 25 miles away and there is all the shopping and stores that you could think of available there. Beacon Rd. has always been a great neighborhood to live in and to raise our kids in. It is well known as one of the "better" areas of Windham/Willimantic. The people take pride in their properties and the area has maintained a good value, even through these difficult times. There is ample parking for family and friends and the road is well maintained.
