Thanks for your detailed reply. I read it with the Google map open and it makes perfect sense.

My wife had a friend in CT long time ago and she lived in Middletown so that was our starting point. I might revisit that town. How about Portland?

Regarding the appetite for commute we have had it all. Currently it is 10-20mins for us, before that we had a bad commute that involved a straight road road but over a bridge and at rush hours the travel time would be 2-3X than normal, before that my wife also had a 50mile/60min commute and it was bad!!!

Well, following the easy roads, RT 17 is pretty clear shot. And it is a highway, not a town route. But I have no info on how busy it is. The issue from that direction is that RT 2 gets pretty congested from about the Glastonbury-East Hartford line north of there. But if you get off RT 2 at East Hartford Main St first exit, the main entrance for the main building for P&W is just a block north of there.
