Our Take
New London offers some solid benefits like decent schools and a waterfront feel, but the high cost of rent relative to income, limited walkability and transit options, and recent development pressures make it a cautious choice. If you’re tied to the city’s history or need specific schools, you’ll need to weigh those pros against the cons.
