Wolcott blends city convenience and natural scenery
Spacious properties, countryside scenery and a quiet lifestyle draw homebuyers to the Connecticut town of Wolcott. "It's a suburban area, but it's close enough to a big city like Waterbury for everything they need, whether it be shopping, health care or anything," says Lana Ogrodnik, an affiliate broker at Showcase Realty with nearly 40 years of experience. "People are attracted to it for the school system and the country lifestyle. It's far enough but also close enough." A mix of subdivisions and rural homes make up Wolcott, with dense forest surrounding the community. Parks and lakes add to the area's natural setting, making it a quiet retreat just minutes from Waterbury.
Homes in Wolcott sell around the median price of $370,000.

The large yards have tall, leafy trees that offer shade in the summer and bright shades of orange in the fall. There aren't many sidewalks, but the wide, quiet streets provide room for a stroll through the neighborhood. Larger properties include Colonial Revivals and Craftsman homes on lots of anywhere from 1 to 12 acres. These houses are often on winding country roads and rolling hills with dense foliage. The median sales price is around $370,000, higher than Waterbury's median of $270,000. The town's CAP Index Crime Score of 2 out of 10 is lower than the national average of 4.
