About Durham

Located in the central southern part of the state, Durham, Connecticut, is a town just 14 miles from the coastline that is traversed by the Metacomet Ridge, a mountainous ridge that reaches from Long Island Sound all the way to the border with Vermont and includes several mountains within the ridge. Those seeking a house for rent or an apartment for rent in this quiet and relaxing town of nearly 7,000 will also find a 50-mile trail, Mattabesett Trail, which lies within the ridge and attracts serious hikers. Durham is about halfway between the larger cities of Hartford and New Haven, making it ideal for those who wish to commute to more urban areas but who want a home in a smaller, more intimate setting. Durham’s three churches all lie on its classic Main Street. The Lyman Orchards Golf Club provides greens and fairways here and Miller’s Pond State Park is nearby as well, allowing those looking for a way to play outdoors an easy answer. The Durham fair is one of the largest in the region and attracts many each year. Those coming here and seeking a house for rent or an apartment for rent will also find several children’s sports leagues and many civic groups and other clubs, providing a great way to meet your new neighbors.
