Life is harmonious in South Windsor, where residents make sweet music together in the Community Chorus or Community Band. Join the chorus or just attend a concert. The less musically inclined can join the Historical Society, coach Little League, or drive to the Connecticut River for fishing and boating. Moderate-size two-bedroom houses, many in over-55 communities, sell from around $250,000 to $400,000.
Think you've got a prize-winning apple pie, quilt, pumpkin, or even dairy cow? Show it off at South Windsor's annual Wapping Fair, where residents enjoy carnival rides, pig races, and contests of all kinds.
