New London is a seaport city and a port of entry on the northeast coast of the United States, located at the mouth of the Thames River in New London County, Connecticut. It was one of the world's three busiest whaling ports for several decades beginning in the early 19th century, along with Nantucket and New Bedford, Massachusetts. The wealth that whaling brought into the city furnished the capital to fund much of the city's present architecture. The city subsequently became home to other shipping and manufacturing industries, but it has gradually lost most of its industrial heart.
New London is home to the United States Coast Guard Academy, Connecticut College, Mitchell College, and The Williams School. The Coast Guard Station New London and New London Harbor is home port to the Coast Guard Cutter Chinook and the Coast Guard's tall ship Eagle. The city had a population of 27,620 at the 2010 census. The Norwich-New London metropolitan area includes 21 towns and 274,055 people.

The community is very age friendly, wouldn't let me scroll over to that option. There are many elders here and everyone is very very nice and respectful.
Quite frankly theres too many homelessness and drug users that walk are in the area . Theres not enough activities for the community and while we just moved to the area 3 months ago , theres knowledge of too many drug dealers and the crime rate is through the roof . Theres too many enraged individuals who drive recklessly also.
I live in a neighborhood where people with disabilities have very good accommodations and very convenient apartments for them to be comfortable! My neighborhood is age friendly!
This community is friendly in terms of the community itself and but I feel the education system needs to be approached in a different way in order to get the best out students attending

Plenty of schools for the children attending the city along with a growing downtown for young adults
