Lakeside living in East Hampton
The small town of East Hampton is located 22 miles south of Hartford and just a stone's throw from Boston and New York City. The town is known for its rich history, surrounding natural beauty and close-knit community. Lake life is on offer in East Hampton, with Lake Pocotopaug sitting at the town's center. The lake is one of Connecticut's largest inland bodies of water and a significant draw for boaters and anglers. "The lake is a big part of town," says Linda Bitondo, a realtor with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services. "People love to head out onto the water on their boats." In many ways, the lake is at the center of the town's recreational activities year-round. In the winter months, ice skating is popular. Once the ice thaws, locals return to catching fish and practicing their backstroke.
Life along the water
Lake Pocotopaug also serves as a major draw for prospective homebuyers, with many homes sitting in front of the water, offering boat access and lovely lake views. Lakefront colonial cottages, newly constructed Craftsman-style estates, Cape Cod and ranch-style homes comprise the area, with prices ranging from $100,000 to $1.24 million.

"If your kid goes to school here, you'll know everyone in town." Children in the area attend Center Elementary School, which has an overall Niche grade of B and was ranked the number 13 best public elementary school in Middlesex County. Next, they attend East Hampton Middle School, which has an overall Niche grade of B-minus. Teenagers attend East Hampton High School, which has an overall Niche grade of B and was ranked the seventh-best public high school in Middlesex County.
