Portland is a small central Connecticut town, just a few minutes down the Connecticut River from Hartford. The town’s atmosphere is quintessential small-town Americana, with low crime, excellent public schools, and a quaint Main Street lined with locally-owned shops and cafes.
The numerous parks and extensive riverfront give residents plenty of options for outdoor fun—boating, fishing, and golf are quite popular pastimes in town, and several large nature preserves nearby are ripe for exploration. Right across the river sits Middletown and Wesleyan University, easily accessible via the Arrigoni Bridge. The close proximity to Hartford makes it an excellent option for commuters seeking a quieter home environment.
