Living in Killingly, Connecticut
Killingly anchors the eastern edge of Connecticut's Quiet Corner, settled in 1700 and grown from a string of mill villages along the Quinebaug and Five Mile (Assawaga) Rivers. By the 1830s it was the largest cotton-goods producer in Connecticut, and it later became such a center for window curtains that it earned the nickname "Curtaintown USA." The town spreads across some 50 square miles and takes in several lakes and ponds — Killingly Pond on the Rhode Island line, Alexander Lake, and Ross Pond — along with a cluster of state parks: Killingly Pond, Old Furnace with its cliff-top overlook, and Ross Pond. Interstate 395 runs north-south through town with U.S. Route 6, Route 12, and Route 101, and the Quiet Corner has no commuter rail; Providence lies about 28 miles away, Worcester about 35, and Hartford about 40. If you're thinking about buying or selling in Killingly, I'd be glad to help — in English or Spanish.
Killingly Neighborhoods
Killingly is made up of a borough and several mill villages. Danielson, the incorporated borough at the Quinebaug and Five Mile confluence, is the commercial center; Dayville, Rogers, Ballouville, Attawaugan, and East Killingly each grew around their own mills, while South Killingly — the one village not built around a mill — developed around its churches. Housing reflects that heritage, from 19th-century mill-worker homes, including rows of two-family houses in Attawaugan, to more rural properties across the town's wider countryside.
Property Taxes in Killingly
Property tax rates in Killingly are set each year by the local assessors and applied per $1,000 of assessed value. Connecticut communities can treat residential and commercial property differently, and exemptions may apply, so the most reliable way to confirm the current rate for a specific property is to check with the Killingly assessor or the tax record on the listing.
