Affordable rent in CT... rents were high 15 years ago...

I found a reasonable place by checking out the neighborhood I wanted to live in, then going to town hall and asking the lady at the counter to connect me with landlords who had bought multi-family houses in town. I don't know if you can still do that, but my girl and I found a downstairs on a split-family for damn cheap. Try it.

Good advice. To add on, OP might want to check out convenience stores and other small business, places with bulletin boards, bars/restaurants etc. and ask around. Small local weekly “newspapers”‘might have listings too (like The Yankee Flyer or Foothills Trader in Torrington area). A lot of older landlords aren’t necessarily on Craigslist or Facebook, they still rent the old fashioned way, by word of mouth etc.
