Newington is a large, suburban town sandwiched between Hartford and New Britain. Primarily serving as a residential suburb for its two larger neighbors, most of Newington is filled with tranquil neighborhood streets.
A thriving downtown district around the intersection of Main Street and Market Square, and a cluster of retail centers along the Berlin Turnpike, provide the best selection of shopping and dining in town. Central Connecticut State University finds its home on the west side and employs hundreds of locals as faculty and staff members. Both residents and students of Newington enjoy the community parks, streams, and trails that offer outdoor fun. Newington’s other amenities include healthcare centers, like Hartford Health Care and Newington VA Medical Center, that transform the area into a hub for modern medicine.
