Low Taxes, Bigger Lots: What to Check in Suffield

Suffield's 24.10 mill rate can make a higher-priced home cost less each month than a cheaper home in a high-tax town. Many homes outside the center have wells and septic systems, and farmland nearby can mean seasonal activity. Compare with Enfield and Windsor Locks before you decide.
