Area Guide
Niche Reviews 
Located in central Connecticut, this neighborhood of homes and rentals sits midway between Hartford to the north and New Haven to the south, a 30-minute commute in both directions via highway or the Amtrak rail system. History buffs love the number of National Register of Historical Places in this town, including the former Meriden Curtain Fixture Company factory, a sprawling red brick building converted into the Charles Street Place Apartments.
Outdoor spaces also hold historical landmark status, such as the world-renowned 1,800-acre Hubbard Park from the designers of New York's Central Park. Meriden provides 24 municipal parks, one of the top 10 public golf courses in Connecticut, and three dedicated trails for hiking, biking, and running.
Residents gather at the award-winning Ted's Restaurant, an area staple for over 50 years and home to the first steamed cheeseburger. Locals enjoy brick-oven pizza at the Little Rendezvous, and the hangout for weekend sports, darts, and pool leagues, Ryder's on Main, welcomes many to this friendly hole-in-the-wall bar.

I don't love it, but it is home. I tried moving away but coming back to where my roots are felt like the right move.

I live in a safe neighborhood, but I don't like to go downtown. I feel unsafe. A lot of the buildings are in disarray and I would like to see it become beautiful. Nice neighborhoods, but also a lot of urban decay.

People litter a lot. There are a number of abandoned buildings in our city. There is high crime, and the police department has been underfunded and understaffed for a long time. The school system is very well funded and well staffed, though their performance doesn't reflect it. There are also a lot of fights at the middle school level. There are a good number of good people who love this city. I love some of the people here but as a city, we can do better.

High property taxes. (home and auto) Low tax credits from State of CT. Poor water quality. Nothing really special about living here. If you are thinking about moving here, think again
