I moved from New Haven , where I was born, to Wallingford and have to say I love it here. Its centrally located in the state, only 20 minutes away from New Haven. Almost midway to Bristol and your friends. It has a quaint small town feel yet teeming with amenities. Three major supermarkets and three smaller, locally owned grocery stores. Lowe’s, Home Depot, and Walmart. The cheapest electric rates in the state due to our municipally owned electric division.
