thanks

Madison ct, love that town.:)

Fairfield.is much nicer than parts of Milford and Trumbull. However the other two.def have some great areas.as well..most of Fairfield county is very nice.

Fairfield county is wicked expensive.

Ive been here all my life. Youre looking to rent? Whats your budget vs. Size requirements?

rent. for now, budget somewhere in the 1600's only need one bedroom.

For 1600 and one bedroom your options are wide open. Any certain proximity you'd like to be in? Place of work? Nightlife? City? Suburbs? Farm town?

Defintely a pricey area of the state to move into... But with your budget, you shouldnt have an issue.

Fairfield
Milford
Trumbull

thats the order of highest class, with fairfield being the highest.

With that being said, there are nothing wrong wtih the other two towns, and they are still full of money. lol

There are some nice condos in milford that are on the beach.... A little bit of googling can likely find them - take a look at those.

Im not a huge fan of that area of the state along the 95 corridor... They are encapsulated into their own little world down there. Attitude wise, and travelwise. Traffic is intense. The are all however close to route 8.

Not sure why you are moving, or what you need to be close to - but if you want to be a little more removed from that area, but still only 10-15 min away... Try shelton. A bit more country, but the town itself has really come along way. The further up the route 8 corridor, the more hit or miss it will become until you go north of waterbury.

Call the tax assessor in each town and see what your car taxes will be.

Contact, PM, "CT08Spec.B" and see what he can do for insurance for you.

Fairfield county is much more expensive than new haven county with the exception of few places on the coast. Shelton is a nice town. Convenient to everything thats for sure.

Fairfield county is nice, however it is expensive. You can buy a house in New Milford, for the cost of a condo in Brookfield, one town over, just because New Milford is in New Haven County. But, if you live in New Milford, you are a solid 20 mins away from any highways or anything outside of NM.

wow thanks so far guys and gals. im hoping to secure employment in norwalk. if anyone is in those areas on tuesday ill be there in a swp 07.

keep those suggestions coming:)

Norwalk is shitty traffic wise. Plain n simple. All the burbs of Norwalk are the towns that more or less make ct the richest state. The right spot in Trumbull would save u money over some other choices.

Everything south of new haven is shitty traffic wise.

Norwalk and I have a history of traffic issues lol

I work in milford. Live in West haven. Grew up in easton, moved to woodbridge. I like west haven.

If youre around milford ill be in one of these.
