What are the nicest U.S. suburbs you've ever visited?

I can just imagine the CT residents clutching their pearls! LOL

The fact that Connecticuters on this board are feeling threatened by this fact is hilarious!

We’ve always been quite envious of your.... meat packing industry, and enterprise organise crime syndicates.

Your ignorance is showing.

Oh, we're all quite envious of your... moral bankruptcy that led to the 2008 financial crisis and destroyed millions of lives??? What else is Connecticut even known for?

Princeton, NJ? I'm not sure that it is actually a suburb of anything, but it is lovely.

have you ever been to Chicago? I am from CT and used to live in NYC, Chicago is one of the most beautiful cities there is. For people who are into the arts/theater, it is an embarrassment of riches - amazing opera, art museums, theater (I would argue better theater than NYC if you want "real" theater and not just a lot of jukebox musicals), great neighborhoods, good music scene (Wilco anyone?), stunning lakefront. And because COL is low, people aren't working all the time so they can actually enjoy everything the city has to offer. And yes, the suburbs are great too. No location is perfect (I missed having mountains within a days drive when I lived there and winters were brutal), but the city itself is pretty great.

lol as opposed to what? the bastion of morals and ethics that is wall street? (and CT doesn't even have wall street! they just commute there.) the fact that ya'll are losing businesses faster than any other state? yeah, so enviable..

Yes! Princeton is really nice. Good suggestion. It’s certainly nicer than the “Gold Coast of Connecticut!”

This whole suburban Chicago vs. Connecticut thing is funny to read.

As for me, I'd gladly pass on both!

So there are no airports in Chicago?

Most of my family lives in Honolulu (gosh I like typing that word) but if I ever move back it will be to Kailua. Bike-able everywhere.

Born and raised in Honolulu. Kailua is pretty, but the architecture is very hit-or-miss. If you want nice homes and the water, Diamond Head or Portlock are much nicer than Kailua.

I have family in Kailua so I go every Christmas (except this one!). Dreaming about Lanikai beach right now. The architecture is the last thing I think about. We have a ocean front home, and all I ever want to look at is that beautiful water.

Same. Someone from the Chamber of Commerce is trying to sell Chicago. The weather sucks.
