Middletown

Walkable Main Street, Wesleyan University, and the Connecticut River. Middletown is the county seat of Middlesex County, sitting on the western bank of the Connecticut River at roughly the geographic center of the state. The city is anchored by Wesleyan University (one of the country's top liberal arts colleges) and a notably good Main Street — a real walkable downtown with restaurants, a brewery, the Buttonwood Tree performing arts venue, and several distinct shops. Housing splits between the historic core around Main and High Streets (Federal and Victorian single-families, smaller multi-families), the university-adjacent rental market, and the broader town of mid-century capes and colonials. Buyers come for the value relative to comparable college towns elsewhere in the Northeast, the cultural amenities, and the central location — Hartford, New Haven, and the shore are all within 40 minutes.
