In the year 1639, a man named Peter Prudden purchased what is now Orange, Connecticut, from the Native American tribes who lived here. No cash money was exchanged. Instead, the Paugussett Indians handed over their land for some coats, tools, and some mirrors. Interesting how it would cost much more nowadays.

Although rural in setting, Orange is home to many different corporate headquarters for various companies, such as Tangoe, a telecommunications company, as well as PEZ, the famous candy maker.

Orange Overview

Orange is also on the register of historic places within the United States. There are several homes that have been restored to near newness under the historic registry's bylaws. These types of homes are not allowed to be demolished; instead, they must be restored to preserve history for future generations. Okay, now that the history and city hall agendas are out of the way, are you wondering what it might be like to live here? Like, in one of the one bedroom apartments for rent? Great! Because that is next thing on the docket! Sorry. Too many courtroom / classroom references?

Finding city apartments in Orange shouldn't be too difficult, as there are a few complexes downtown to choose from that offer varying amenities.

Life in Orange

Aside from land trades, telephone calls, and lots of candy eating, life in Orange is rather normal. Well, normal is pretty relative, but you get the idea.

Boston Post Road

There is a lot to do if you enjoy shopping, playing, and eating. Boston Post Road is one of the most happening streets in the city, with the majority of the shopping centers located somewhere along its stretch. Burlington Coat Factory, Best Buy, and Walmart can all be found along BPR.

Fred Wolfe Park

If you enjoy being in the great outdoors, the parks and recreation opportunities in this area abound. For picnicking and other related activities, Fred Wolfe Park is a great place to spend the day when you're not looking for rental property.

Hubbard Park

If you want to get a little more involved and commune with the spirits of the trees, going to Hubbard Park and partaking of the many marked trails available for hiking is yet another fantastic way to spend an entire day. You may just get lost. There are campgrounds situated nearby, so if you do become lost, just knock on the door of an unsuspecting camper to ask for directions in the middle of the night or ask to use their cell phone. Sure, they won't mind.

After all of your adventures are over, you are sure to have a great hunger for some home-cooked food, but the food here is just as good, especially if you try out Hayama Restaurant, a local favorite for Japanese cuisine. On the other side of the Orient is Shanghai Gourmet Chinese, a restaurant known for its homemade crab rangoon. However, if you want to try a different side of the globe completely, Bertucci's is an excellent choice for Italian fare.

Moving to Orange

Moving to Orange is just like moving to any other part of the nation, only here you will be inundated with the ripe smell of candy all day long, and around the rental homes you may be subjected to garden gnomes whose heads snap back and shoot the candy at you. Just kidding.

Finding places for rent in Orange is pretty simple if you have the requisite information such as your personally identifying information and employment documentation. Bank statements are a good idea to have on hand, also. Apartment complexes are not as lax as the private landlords in the area, so be prepared with the paperwork signing away your life, as well. Couldn't hurt.
