Hampton offers community, nature and fresh produce 37 miles from Hartford
Hampton, 37 miles from Hartford, Connecticut, is a close-knit rural community in Windham County. “The person I sold to in Hampton said he loves it there; he says it’s such a nice, super small-town mentality,” says Holly Regoli, a Realtor with HomeSmart Professionals Real Estate who has been working in the industry for over 17 years. “He says the neighbors are super nice. He loves being in the country.” Much of Hampton’s rolling hills are made up of farms and farmstands, offering a closer option for produce than the 8 mile drive to Walmart. Surrounding the rich farmland, nature preserves and forests are abundant in the bucolic countryside, making fishing, boating and hiking common pastimes for most residents.
The Fletcher Memorial Library is Hampton's public library and offers book and media lending.
