Small Town Feel

Shannon Buckley has had the opportunity to live in several different places throughout her life. Originally from Oswego, New York, she attended St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York, for her undergraduate degree, then moved to Montreal, Canada, to complete her Ph.D. at McGill University. She then came to Connecticut.

“My first job after graduating was in Southport, and I really liked this area of Connecticut. After renting for a time in Black Rock, I wanted to buy a house in a coastal town between Fairfield and New Haven. I found a cozy house near downtown Milford and loved it,” shared Buckley.

After moving into her new home, Buckley, who works in medical education, fell in love with Milford. “It is very welcoming, with a small town feel. I love that everyone goes to the events in town, like the fairs and Tree Lighting, and there is a lot of community participation. Everyone I’ve met has been very nice. The fact that there are many beaches, including a state park beach, is great, and being on the train line makes it easy to get to NYC and New Haven for shows and dining.”
