Everyday errands are easy with C-Town and Price Rite nearby, a Costco in the zip, and quick trips to Westfarms Mall or the Berlin Turnpike retail strip.

Expect casual nightlife at Five Churches Brewing and Alvarium Beer Co., plenty of global takeout, and fast access to I-84, Route 9, and CTfastrak stops for Hartford and West Hartford.
