If you are looking into Cheshire Real Estate, and wonder if you are making the right move for your children, this is one topic you can take off of your list of worries. Cheshire is the perfect place to raise children. Not only is there an excellent school system, but the safe and kid-friendly environment is the reason many members of our community move here in the first place.

When it comes to education....

Cheshire is one of the best.

Our public schools are highly regarded and our private schools are top of the line. College prep school Cheshire academy boasts student enrollment from roughly 30 countries around the world. While the Cheshire public school system enjoys a well-deserved reputation of excellence. With an average of 15 students/teacher, there is no shortage of attention to each individual child.

When it comes to fun...

We're all about the kids.

Cheshire is home to The Barker Character, Comic and Cartoon Museum - the one museum that your kids might actually beg you to go to.  It houses one of the country's largest collections of toys and artifacts. From a Partridge Family lunchbox to a life-sized Simpsons family, this place is the perfect weekend activity for children young and old.


Holiday Hill Day Camp, accredited by the American Camping Association, is the ideal summer camp, right in your own backyard! You are sure to find a program that your kids will like because they cover almost every activity in the book - archery, basketball, horseback riding, drama, nature, tennis, cooking and more.

When it comes to safety..

Cheshire is close to crime-free. 

It scores very low on the City Data crime index scale - a 52.9, while the US average is 320.9.  According to Sperling's Best Places, on a scale of 1 to 10 for violent crime (1 being very low crime and 10 being very high), Cheshire is a 1!

If you have any questions about growing up in Cheshire, please don't hesitate to ask me. As a life long resident of Cheshire, I can give you a first hand account. As you can see, it worked out pretty well for me because I just couldn't stay away.
