Best small towns in Connecticut?

Five towns made Money Magazine’s list of the Top 100 Small Towns: Cheshire (73), Portland (88), Simsbury (39), South Windsor (38), and Tolland (37).

I see that Fairfield County was shut out and New Haven County nearly so. Perhaps the high cost of, well, everything, has finally caught up with them. What do you think?

See the whole list here: Best Places to Live 2011 – States: Connecticut – from MONEY Magazine.
