I was born and raised in New Britain and I love my community, altough I have relocated.
Taxes are high
I lived in this town for 13 years and I have over 20 years of experience working with the elderly
It's very quiet calm & peaceful in my community. Very elderly friendly, they also built a brand new 10 million dollar park that surrounds the neighborhood. It has a soccer field waterpark walkway throughout the park which includes excersising materials.
It's a nice, friendly community
