Mansfield Connecticut Homes for Sale

Situated in the heart of eastern Connecticut, the town of Mansfield is nestled in wooded uplands that are cut by the valleys of the Willimantic, Fenton, and Mt. Hope rivers.  Mansfield is known for its award winning blue ribbon school system and the large lake formed by Mansfield Hollow Dam.  It is also widely recognized for the main campus of the University of Connecticut in Storrs, a community that has a separate zip code but is encompassed within the boundaries of Mansfield.  This community ensures all the advantages of a “university town,” including a calendar filled with cultural and sporting events.  The appeal of Mansfield has been enhanced by the acquisition of parcels of prime land that have been developed into lush parks and open space with miles of multi-purpose trails.  More than 1,000 acres of land have been reserved as local parkland.  Access to interstate highways is second to none, with Interstates 84, 384, and 291 all converging at this location.
