Hello! Moving to CT potentially... [View all]

I may be moving to the Milford, CT area within the next few weeks. I am looking for a bit of help from current CT'ers...

A bit about me:
I am 27 year old, single, gay male, with a cat (go figure right)...
Ideally I'd like to keep my rent under 1,000 (but understand that may not be possible)...
I have a new car so commuting is not an issue...

Any thoughts on where I should look to live? Things to know about that area of CT? Anything else just in general?

Let me know, thanks!

Eh.. Milford seems to be nice but it's all single family units. Agschmid Feb 2013 #14

Most towns nearby are mostly single family...but plenty of rental apartments. catnhatnh Feb 2013 #15
