Digital Nomad Life in Connecticut

By Betsy Burlingame

Summary: Connecticut is not a particularly popular destination for digital nomads. The most popular cities for digital nomads in the US are generally larger cities such as New York City, San Francisco, and Austin. Digital nomads may like living in Connecticut because of its proximity to New York City and Boston, its access to the outdoors, and its relatively low cost of living. A digital nomad can live on a monthly budget of around $2,000 in Connecticut. This budget would cover rent, food, transportation, and other basic expenses. The culture of Connecticut is diverse and vibrant. There are many cultural attractions, such as museums, galleries, and theaters, as well as a variety of outdoor activities. Connecticut is also home to many universities and colleges, making it a great place for digital nomads to network and find new opportunities.

What are healthcare services like in Connecticut?

When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Connecticut, they replied:

"Connecticut offers a wide range of healthcare services, including primary care, specialty care, mental health services, and preventive care. The state is home to some of the best hospitals and medical facilities in the country, including Yale New Haven Hospital, Hartford Hospital, and St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center. These hospitals offer a variety of services, from emergency care to cancer treatment to rehabilitation. In addition, Connecticut has numerous community health centers, which provide comprehensive primary care services to underserved populations. These centers are located throughout the state, with the majority located in urban areas," said one member in Connecticut.

What are the pros and cons of living in Connecticut?

"People generally like the fact that Connecticut is a small state with a lot of natural beauty. The state is home to many parks, forests, and beaches, making it a great place to explore the outdoors. Additionally, Connecticut is known for its excellent educational opportunities, with many prestigious universities and colleges located in the state. People also appreciate the state's proximity to major cities like New York and Boston, allowing for easy access to cultural and entertainment opportunities. On the other hand, some people dislike the high cost of living in Connecticut, as well as the fact that the state has a relatively high tax rate," said a member in Connecticut.
