Cheshire Ranks Among Best Places to Live in U.S.

CHESHIRE, CT — Cheshire has been selected by Money Magazine as one of the 50 best places to live, ranking No. 28 among the Best Places to Live in the U.S.

Recognized as a safe community with access to nature and an advantageous location, Money describes Cheshire as a “small Connecticut town, located halfway between New Haven and Hartford” with “plenty to offer.”

This year, Money looked at towns and cities with a population of at least 25,000. The emphasis was on “economic factors, such as employment opportunities, as well as supply and demand for homes, cost of living, quality of schools, racial and economic diversity, and health and safety,” according to a news release.

Money selected 50 towns and cities where the economy, job growth, and housing market remained strong despite COVID-19 disruptions. Priorities were shifted to pay more attention to locations that aren't just doing well now, but that also show great promise and stability for the next five to 10 years, the news release states.

“The Town of Cheshire takes pride in our community, and we are pleased to be recognized as a great place to live,” officials said in a statement.

Cheshire was ranked 39th out of the top 100 best small towns in which to live by Money Magazine in 2013.
