Meriden Overview

The city is a quiet, suburban community that is just the opposite of what many would find in the New York City area. Some people live in Meridien and then travel to NYC because of its proximity and much lower cost of life. Yet, this small town has much to offer to the over 60,000 people who call it home. 

Why live in Meriden, CT?

Some people make the decision to live in Meridien because of its location near New York City and within New England in general. Yet, there are many other reasons to call this city home, including its beautiful parks and forested areas offering stunning trails, fishing opportunities, and exceptional seasonal weather. As a suburban town, there are tree-lined neighborhoods here, various smaller playgrounds, and a full sports program for kids and adults. Senior centers are also available within the community. The city has a cost of living that is much more affordable than New Haven or NYC but still is a bit higher than other areas. Housing costs are moderate, and the school system is robust. The area's sports programs, religious programming, and a wide range of commercial-oriented businesses make this community one that offers just about everything for everyone who calls the area home.
