Connecticut near the top for 2017 Retirement Quality of Life

Bankrate's 2017 Best places for retirement places Connecticut near the top for culture, low crime, overall well being, senior services and health care. All the things we can't control are ranked higher than average here If you want a better quality of life and good schools look no farther. I have always loved the fact I can be on Killing ton, in the Catskills, Boston, Cape Cod, Nantucket, Long Island Beaches, the Jersey Shore or New York city all in less than three hours, not to mention local beaches, forests, and so many great recreational activities right in our state. Making Connecticut your home has more advantages than not, which is possibly why it costs more.. Employing David Carr as your Real Estate Agent put you at the top for experience and attention to detail.
