Area Guide
Niche Reviews 
Located in central Connecticut, this neighborhood of homes and rentals sits midway between Hartford to the north and New Haven to the south, a 30-minute commute in both directions via highway or the Amtrak rail system. History buffs love the number of National Register of Historical Places in this town, including the former Meriden Curtain Fixture Company factory, a sprawling red brick building converted into the Charles Street Place Apartments.
Outdoor spaces also hold historical landmark status, such as the world-renowned 1,800-acre Hubbard Park from the designers of New York's Central Park. Meriden provides 24 municipal parks, one of the top 10 public golf courses in Connecticut, and three dedicated trails for hiking, biking, and running.
Residents gather at the award-winning Ted's Restaurant, an area staple for over 50 years and home to the first steamed cheeseburger. Locals enjoy brick-oven pizza at the Little Rendezvous, and the hangout for weekend sports, darts, and pool leagues, Ryder's on Main, welcomes many to this friendly hole-in-the-wall bar.

I don't love it, but it is home. I tried moving away but coming back to where my roots are felt like the right move.

Meriden is a city where the education system flourishes. However, due to lack of funding in the school districts, aspiring teachers like me cannot find work. We also do not have enough resources to educate our children. The city used to have plentiful funding, but due to a boom in population, we are now struggling. By winning a scholarship, I can help to supply my students with the necessary supplies to appropriately educate them.

High property taxes. (home and auto) Low tax credits from State of CT. Poor water quality. Nothing really special about living here. If you are thinking about moving here, think again

Very good schools. Meriden is a nice town with some problems but an AMAZING arts program in schools. (I am in the school as of 2022)
