| What Niantic is like for active adults |
| Niantic is a small town on the Long Island Sound coast of Connecticut. This former fishing village has about 6,000 residents and is in one of the nicest stretches of CT - between Old Saybrook and New London. Boating and fishing are fantastic from here, and so is the New England charm. Average home sales were above $300,000 for a while in 2006-7, but have dropped back into the high $200's. Obviously homes near the water are worth much more. The nearby towns of Stonington, Lyme, and Mystic are also great retirement communities. |
