Norwich- Community and Comfort 3 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) Even though Norwich, Connecticut is small, it's packed with history and fun things to do, which is why I love it!

Norwich has quite a few fun museums, historical sites, and pleasant walks you can take. It is also full of restaurants, ranging from Chinese food to pizza, ice crea ...Read More m to sushi.

Housing in Norwich is easy to come by, and most houses are mid-sized, and well under 500,000 dollars, which makes Norwich great if you are moving there with a family or children. I love that the fact that Norwich has everything you need, like a grocery store, a hospital, a gym, etc., but you still get the community feel from it.

One thing about Norwich that leaves little to be desired are the schools. The schools are crowded and the education isn't great. However, nearby cities have great schools.

If the small town feel gets boring, you can head on over to New York City in less than 3 hours! Read Less
