Storrs is a village inside of the town of Mansfield right next to the University of Connecticut campus. This intimate village unites its community by hosting events throughout the year. Enjoy a flick while snacking on UCONN Dairy Bar Truck ice cream at the Moonlight Movies held at Betsy Paterson Square. Celebrate the community at the annual fall Mansfield Festival, a day full of food, music, and activities for the entire family in downtown Storrs.

The village is near several natural preserves perfect for hiking and meditating. For some more fun, visit some of the University of Connecticut’s main attractions. Visit internationally renowned Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry, a collection of over 2,500 puppets, archives, audio-visual materials, and more.

This small village is packed with delicious, diverse eateries. Try family-style Indian and Nepalese dishes at Kathmandu Kitchen & Bar or sip on some European coffee at Dog Lane Café. Even though Storrs is small it’s a great location for renters looking for space close to the Home of the Huskies.
