Area Guide
Meriden/Wallingford Meriden, CT
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.

Living in Meriden, I love the parks and community feel, but downtown needs more revitalization, diverse businesses, and better public transportation.

Meriden is a quiet and safe town with a friendly atmosphere, making it a pleasant place to live. However, it could benefit from attracting more businesses to the area, which would not only create more jobs but also offer more options for shopping and dining. The community is strong, and there are several parks and recreational areas, but having more commercial development could improve the overall vibrancy and economy of the town.

I've lived in Meriden my whole life so my experience and feelings towards the town may differ from others, however, that goes without saying that this town clearly needs a lot of improvement. The diversity of this town is quite admirable and I appreciate the different kinds of people and cultures.
