These have been declared the best places to live in Connecticut, but you tell us if you agree! The rankings were created by Movoto, a real estate website that has made lists for several other states as well. You can see the original post, and see the data factors they used to compose the list, here. Some factors included commute, cost of living and amenities. So without further ado, here are the 10 best places to call home in Connecticut!
