Connecticut has one of the highest per capita incomes in the United States. Its rural areas and small towns contrast sharply with its industrial cities along the coastal highways. Many towns center around a "green" where nearby may likely be found colonial meeting houses, inns and churches reminiscent of the Revolutionary War. These charming towns make for idyllic settings. Many of the homes may be found at Connecticut houses for sale.
