Wallingford is a charming, walkable New England town with a compact historic downtown, tree-lined neighborhoods, parks and a steady roster of local restaurants and cafés—an easy, comfortable base for multi-week assignments that feels relaxing after work while still offering weekend activities and outdoor options.
You’re a short drive from New Haven (Yale, vibrant dining and theaters) and about 30 minutes from Hartford (museums and state‑capital amenities), so you get small‑town living with quick access to bigger-city entertainment and coastal beaches.
