NerdWallet, a personal finance website, has named Simsbury as the # 1 town for young families in the entire state of Connecticut based on home affordability, prosperity and growth, quality of education and family friendliness.

“A 345-year-old town just outside Hartford, Simsbury takes the top place on our list because it offers young families an outstanding combination of affordability and quality schools. A median household can expect to pay 22% of monthly income on homeownership costs, the lowest in the top 10. It also has a GreatSchools rating of 9 out of 10. Active families will want to get out and play on the 84-mile Farmington Canal Heritage Trail, which runs through Simsbury.”
