I'll be back on Monday to the area! It seems like a place I could settle temporarily if things did not work out immediately in Suffield. I liked Ellington when I drove through it, but didn't really see all of it. Of course.may I complicate your life further and suggest also looking into my hometown of Ellington: Enfield's neighbor to the east? Also a nice quiet town with farming, but (I think) a bit cheaper houses than Suffield. And of course even though our weather is far from perfect (see yesterday) we do still get less snow and cold temps than upstate NY, if that matters to you.


Go for it! Suffield is a nice town and you would obviously have an easy commute if you're working next door in Enfield. If it does then it's one of those "dark secrets" I want to know about! I will ask you (or anyone) though, what is the athletic system like there? Funded well? Decent, if not good teams? I don't have kids yet but I played three sports in high school and one in college so its in the blood! Schools are important, I can't see how a community like this would have a bad school system. It just looks so peaceful and tranquil, but I guess that's until the planes fly over! Thanks for telling me that though, but I do agree that I would become numb to the noise after a while. Those historic homes are what really got my attention. With that being said, if you live under a flight path eventually you become numb to the noise and don't even notice it anymore. The only downside for some can be the airplane noise from Bradley airport in Windsor Locks. The schools are good and it's a pretty farm type town. They have a Highland Park Market for grocery shopping and a very small shopping center area with the usual CVS, hair salon, subway, Dunkin donuts etc. Nice main Street with historic homes and the library. What's it really like to live here? Any dark secrets I should know about? So, what I am asking if there is anyone who lives here or has lived here (none of the people who I have worked with in Enfield do, most come from the Springfield area, so I can't get their perspectives), is to tell me about Suffield. The CD page shows me more information, including minimal crime, that appeals to me. I'm young and have nothing to tie me down to where I live now if I wanted to make this move. Nice areas just across the stateline as well, including Six Flags! In particular though, Suffield has wowed me. I have fallen in love with Northern Connecticut: Suffield, Enfield, Windsor Locks, etc. We're looking for someone to fill the same position in Enfield as I have in NY, but after all these visits, I am thinking, "Maybe that should be me and I should move now." The Devanney family has run Highland Park Market for several generations, turning from a small grocer on the corner of Highland and Wyllys streets to a franchise with several locations.I'm from upstate NY, but have been helping out in our company's Enfield location 3-4 days a week for the last month, and will be doing so probably for another month. When it opened it became the first supermarket in Suffield since the A&P store closed in 1995. Highland Park Market's Suffield location, its fourth at the time, opened in 2000. The Highland Park Market in Coventry is unrelated to the franchise. In addition to the Suffield location, Highland Park Market has grocery stores in Farmington, Glastonbury, and Manchester, where the original store first opened. "We chose Ming because we believe he'll maintain the level of service and quality people have come to expect," Devanney said.Īccording to Suffield land records, Suffield Village LLC has owned the 6.23-acre property at 68 Bridge St. Suffield was the lowest performing store in the franchise, so that made it an easier decision to close that branch, he said.ĭevanney said there were multiple parties interested in purchasing the store, but Chou was ultimately picked because of his commitment to keeping the facility operating in a similar capacity as it currently does. He added that the three-generation, family-run company wanted to reinvest and make improvements at their Glastonbury and Manchester locations, so selling the Suffield spot made sense.
