Modern Colonials and Cape Cod homes
Many of the buildings in Middle Haddam were constructed in the Federal style between 1790 and 1835, but this style of home only goes on the market occasionally. A refurbished home from the 1800s could sell for around $525,000. “Historic houses used to take longer to sell because of the maintenance,” says Hatfield. “But everything is selling faster because of low inventory.” However, there is new construction happening outside of the historic district in a small development on Long Hill Road. These Colonial and Cape Cod homes range from $480,000 for 2 bedrooms to $600,000 for 5 bedrooms. Houses built in the 90s and 00s can also be found in that price range, they tend to be more spaced out and sit on partially wooded lots.

Winding roads that are highway-bound

Middle Haddam Road and West High Street are the neighborhood's two main throughfares and all other local roads sprout from them. The few minor roads that exist are narrow and winding and typically don't get regular replacements due to low traffic. With Middle Haddam Road and Portland-Cobalt Road turning into highways 151 and 66, a trip to nearby Portland and Middletown are only 5.6 miles away.
A culture of agriculture
Fire Ring Farm on is a local community funded agribusiness that helps support Middle Hadam and other nearby communities with locally grown produce and event spaces. Some of hosted events include summer camps and herbalist classes. The farm's Summer Camp Program is provided by the Everyone Outside Children's Program and can included nature tours, harvesting and herb mixing classes, nature journalling and even frog catching.
Red tape in the historic district

Folks looking to build homes or facilities in the Historic District are likely to face a number of restrictions and regulation meant to preserve the area's physical culture.
