I didn't want to give too many specifics, but that's a pretty good guess.

Get a lawyer or move.

I used to live alone, walking distance from Wesleyan, and felt perfectly safe there.

Uh oh! Hopefully this was just a mixup. Usually you order cake by size, so it should be the size ordered. I’m supposed to get a cake for my daughters bday. I can’t think it wise for a “high end” baker to cheap out on the final product. Make the cake as the cake should be, and adjust price accordingly.

Niche.com weights it’s scale for diversity. It literally tells you it’s one of the worst districts in the state if you scroll down

Stop making up lies

Disagree. I have lived in this part of town for the last three years and it’s absolutely fine.

Pretty much the same as what everyone else is saying on here / what you would see in most cities — you may get some characters here and there (seen someone picking returnables out of the recycling, occasionally someone that’s incredibly high / out of it, house around the corner for adults in serious rehab)

But I’ve never once had a problem with anyone walking around in my neighborhood — I’m a young white woman.

Listen to the other people on here, if you prefer a neighborhood setting, you’ll be able to find some decent multi family home rentals but make sure you get a good look at them first.

CT in general is quite safe compared to most places in the US and I've also lived in other cities in other states. The school systems here are, in general, way better than anywhere else except maybe Mass so that's a poor measurement stick to use. Even the cities people talk so bad about in this state (and I've lived in two of those) have large areas that are as safe as the nicer cities, and even the "bad" areas are a joke compared to cities in other states.

Middletown is fine. Most of these people sound paranoid AF. It's a lot less edgy then it was and more gentrified.

They only good thing about Cromwell is getting the hell out. Same can be said about Rocky Hill or Glastonbury. Glastonbury is nice in the fall but they're are so boring. I grew up there. Middletown is the only thing that gives those places life.

sounds like you know your stuff

Totally agree with #3.

Yale does make a PILOT to New Haven. Maybe the payment should be larger, and maybe New Haven needs to manage its money better.

You have the turnpike with literally everything you need. It’s not a party town but it’s nice.

It’s like anywhere else, stay outta the dark corners and blind alleys etc and you’ll be fine. I lived there for years and enjoyed it. Amatos toy store is killer.

Thank you for your input. I'm exploring all options. Thanks again

It's usually wholesalers or flippers. They'll lowball the daylights out of you most of the time. They usually cold call people with multiple properties, people who have defaulted on their mortgage and homes where someone died (elderly). I know folks that have done it and you usually take a hit on the price but most of these guys can close FAST. For the folks I've known to do it, it was for their late parents homes that had tons of issues and they just wanted it gone.

Great advice if you think anyone can answer what he’s asking because it makes zero sense.

Oooof, ok. Definitely appreciate this comment. Thank you and good luck with your home buying/selling adventures

I dealt with one for haha's a couple years ago. My house is still on the realtor sites as I had it on the market 2 years ago, but cancelled the contract. I answered and asked "how much money are we talking here?" No answer, but can I send pictures? I said there's 39 photos, a complete description and market value on the internet. They knew that, but oh, can I take more pictures? Gtfoh. I'll be using the same realtor who did the work last time, this year, but will buy another house first, and I already let her know that.. An aside, had some dipstick driving a high end suv nearly blow a stop sign coming off rt. 8 the other day. NY plates, Indian woman. I continue on and she flies by me up the hill coming out of Thomaston on rt. 6, then I pass her at the light as she picked the wrong lane. Side of her $80k SUV is a sign "we buy homes for cash." Not mine, sweetheart, not mine.

My daughter lived in the west lake dr area when she got out of school in 2015 and a year later bought a condo in the south end near Durham. Believe me I am a protective dad and would not have had here living any where I did not think was safe.

West lake Drive is right next to Cromwell and the whole road is full of condos and apartments.

And the south end with the condo was next to a horse pasture.

I live across the river in Portland and have no problem going to any business in middletown. I mean I would not hang around the north end of main street at night but from say Luce restaurant down I have.

And calling a few at that, and letting them know you are talking to others to possibly spur a competition of some kind.

I’ve lived in multiple cities in the US and abroad including Chicago and Atlanta.

CT is know for its suburbs. CT is a commuter state. People don’t live in Middletown for “city life”. Go hang out at the bars and restaurants in downtown and ask people where they live.

West Hartford, Stamford, Fairfield have city life like you are referencing.

Hartford, CT is a ghost town after 6 pm. Do Not Live there.

Lol lol go travel the USA you will see CT is a paradise compared to most of the country. We are very sheltered in CT even our poor cities look good compared to many places in the US especially the western cities dealing with homelessness and drug epidemic.
