In this blog, we’ll talk about the 5 Reasons You Should Build a House in Connecticut. Because a house is not just a house; it’s a way of living.
School Systems
Are you someone who has school-age children or planning to have children in the near future? Connecticut’s schools are routinely ranked in the top of the country. Connecticut is #2 in the country for college readiness and #4 for top schools in the nation. With these statistics in place, any parent or family should feel confident about building a house in Connecticut.
Affordable Land and Low Real Estate Taxes
Do you work in the NYC Metro Area? Are you looking to move somewhere more residential? Compared to many other locations, including those in New York and New Jersey, Connecticut allows for affordable land and low real estate taxes. 50% lower housing costs are found in Connecticut compared to Westchester County. Connecticut also offers a relatively easy commute for those commuting to the city for work- the biggest and most convenient means of transportation is the Metro North train.
Health
Safety and the wellbeing of others can be a consideration when relocating or building a new house. The state of Connecticut is #4 in the country for the healthiest state in the US. Since the pandemic, more and more people have migrated to Connecticut from the NYC metro area. One of the reasons for this was to get out of a saturated area where viruses and illnesses can spread. Connecticut naturally offers more land and spacious areas with less of a crowd allowing for more people to feel comfortable and safe amongst their surroundings.
Low Crime Rate
Do you come from an area where the crime rate is high or perhaps is this something you take into consideration when moving to a new area? The great news is that in the state of Connecticut, and specifically in the city of Westport, the crime rate is extremely low. This allows for residents to feel safe in their surrounding areas and feel comfortable residing somewhere where everyone respects one another. Your environment plays a major role in your overall well-being and truly can dictate your mood.
