Chester, Connecticut – A unique gem in the Connecticut River Valley
The town of Chester, Connecticut, has a population of about 4,300 people, most of whom are year-round residents thanks to the community’s location away from the ocean. At the same time, the beaches of the Connecticut Shoreline are just 20 minutes away, and there are multiple local marinas on the Connecticut River.
Those who buy a home in Chester, CT, love its position because it’s minutes from neighboring communities like Deep River, Killingworth, and Haddam, while sitting only half an hour from Hartford, 130 miles from Boston, and 110 miles from New York. Residents can also take the historic Chester-Hadlyme Ferry across the river to reach Lyme and East Haddam in less than five minutes.
