Cheshire is booming. New Census data shows the town added more than 2,500 neighbors in five years, making it one of the fastest-growing towns in Connecticut right now.
What’s driving it
You can see the growth driving down Highland Avenue. The Shops at Stone Bridge brought new stores and restaurants to town, including Mercato Italian Kitchen & Bar, which opened in September 2026.
Add Cheshire’s schools, its central location between Waterbury, New Haven and Hartford, and a long list of local favorites, and it’s easy to see why so many people are choosing it.
