Suffield Information ...
|  | | | SUFFIELD HORSES!! | |
Located on the Connecticut River between Hartford, Connecticut, and Springfield Massachusetts, Suffield i proud of its heritage and its steady growth, a product of careful planning. Beginning as a farming community in 1670, Suffield maintains a delicate balance between its colonial roots, and today's modern life-style.
Suffield is a gracious town with a rural flavor in a suburban setting. The twon center boasts a small shopping complex and an excellent library. Recent expansion of public buildings includes a police station, and new school. Bradley International Airport on the southern boundary attracts business, while quick access to I-91 makes commuting up and down the Connecticut River valley from Vermont and New Hampshire to Long Island an easy trip.
This town is rich in contrasts - sweeping fields, forested hills, a vintage main street, farms, shopping,and a lake. |  | | | Suffield Town Green | |
Town Green: The town's first meetinghouse was built on this ground about 1680. It was established in the early days of the community and served as a focus for religious, civic and educational activity over time. Important institutions surround the green which include Suffield Academy, First Congregational Church, Second Baptist Church, and the Kent memorial Library. The town Hall, located on Mountain Road,is a focal point for the community. Important town business is conducted here nearly every day. The First Selectman, elected by the people, leads the town staff in providing local services. Several Boards and Commissions meet at the Town Hall to determine the future of the town. |  | | | main street home | |

First Time Buyers >The Elements of Location
When you are in the market for a home, how should you evaluate the properties that appeal to you? There is an old cliché about the three most important factors of a piece of property--location, location and location.
Some neighborhoods have a certain distinction that attracts buyers, but there are other factors to take into account. A house in the best part of town may have a few points subtracted if it is located on a busy street. There are buyers who would like to be close to schools, shopping, and churches, but don't want to live across the street from these facilities. You may want an easy commute to your job, but would not consider a location close to the "on" ramp for the major route into town. A location close to a airport could be convenient if you are a commercial pilot, but could make it difficult to sell even the most wonderful house.
As you balance all of the factors, remember that a location liability which gets you a great house at a reasonable price will probably require you to pass a similar savings on to future buyers.
