• The cost of living in Montville is 175 based on a national average of 100, and it's also higher than the state index of 133. This is largely due to the cost of housing, which is about three times the national average, and the cost of transportation, which, at 164, is much higher than the state and national averages. These expenses may make it tough for some families to stretch their budgets to cover the cost of memory care here. 
• With a temperature range of January lows around 20 and July highs around 85, Montville is on par with the national average. However, Sperling's gives the city a comfort level of 48 out of 100 due to a high amount of annual snow and rain. Memory care residents may not leave the facility often, but families should ensure precautions are taken during extreme temperatures.
