Brooklyn

Small Quiet Corner town with a long-running agricultural fair. Brooklyn (the Connecticut one, in Windham County) is a small rural town in the Quiet Corner, best known to most of Connecticut as the host of the Brooklyn Fair — the oldest continuously-running agricultural fair in the country, in operation since 1809. The town is predominantly rural and residential, with a small village center on Route 6, working farms, and a housing stock dominated by older single-family homes, farmhouses on substantial lots, and a small share of newer construction. Brooklyn appeals to buyers who want real acreage and a rural pace, at price points that are among the most attainable in the state. The trade-off is distance from major employment centers — Hartford is about an hour, Providence about 45 minutes.
