Bucolic landscapes surround the University of Connecticut in Mansfield
Located in the heart of northeastern Connecticut's Quiet Corner, Mansfield is a vibrant town that blends bucolic landscapes and small-town charm with the pulsating energy of a university town. Incorporated in 1702, Mansfield comprises a patchwork of farmland, wooded preserves and winding backroads surrounding a village center brimming with shops, eateries and cultural attractions. The Village of Storrs, the town's central commercial hub, is home to the University of Connecticut, while Eastern Connecticut State University sits just beyond Mansfield's town limits, attracting flocks of investors, professors and families with college students. "The schools are a major factor when moving here, but beyond that, Mansfield offers fairly affordable, private homes on acreage," says Amber Jones, Realtor with KW Legacy Partners, who has five years of experience in the industry. "It's the kind of place where everyone will look out for you but also mind their own business. We get many people looking for peace and quiet, but we're still close enough to commute to bigger cities like Manchester and Hartford."
Many people come to Mansfield in the fall to leaf peep.
