    Beautiful Connecticut! So many lovely communities that weren't mentioned. Guilford.

    Connecticut has wonderful health care and great schools. We are little but powerful. It is expensive to a degree but so many communities are safe. I love where I live, 7 minutes to the ocean, 10 minutes to a lovely lake. Very safe and quiet. I would never want to live anywhere else unless I could go back to my childhood home on Mount Desert Island in Maine.

    A home in Fairfield will not cost you more than $597,000? All I know is that any newer home here with 1800 sq feet costs more than $1,000,000. When was this video made......2005?

      If your daughter has the money (over $300,000 saved) to put a down payment on a home and to afford repairs and taxes) then Fairfield county is the place to be. Houses in the area average $1M. My husband grew up in Greenwich and I lived in Norwalk, Fairfield, Darien, and the Cove in Stamford. Stamford is very busy, but the back woods of Stamford (North Stamford) is beautiful.
      If Fairfield county is too pricey, then Litchfield county is the next best area. Also, expensive at about $900k for a house, but the area is affluent and safe.
      Getting away from the high end, there are small towns like Wolcott, and Watertown (housing costs an average of $350K) that are laid back quiet towns with plenty to do in the surrounding areas, but housing is affordable and the area is still very safe.
      There are bigger towns, like Guilford that are still very safe, cost an average of $600K but are up and coming so the housing prices will continue to climb.
      It depends on what she is looking for. A seaside house along long island sound, a lakeside community in the foothills of the Berkshire mountains, a wooded area or farming community there are lots of areas to choose from in CT.
      Places to avoid at all costs:
      Waterbury
      Bridgeport
      Torrington
      Downtown Stamford
      Parts of Stratford
      Parts of Milford
      East Haven
      West Haven is better than the other Haven's, but not great
      Hamden
      Branford is iffy
      New haven -around Yale is good, but outside of the college be careful.
      And the entirety of the valley,
      Naugatuck, Seymour, and ansonia.
      Beacon falls and Oxford are still part of the valley, but are nicer.
      Be forwarned the valley floods badly and Oxford was just recently destroyed.
      Happy house hunting.

    I was born and raised in New Haven CT….Morris Cove area. It was a great place to grow up in the 60s 70s. Still a nice place but the rest of New Haven is a cesspool ghetto. Taxes are far too high and. Looking forward to moving out. Look into New Hampshire, much lower taxes and not nearly as many ghettos. Ct is far too Liberal for me as well.

    @MainMan7012 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I’m tiring of the AI voiceover with weird pronunciations eg “cus cob.” At least the Mianus River wasn’t mentioned. Surfing in CT? I don’t know perhaps good as a hurricane nears or a huge winter storm. Real estate prices are about twice as high as those mentioned. A high end West Hartford one bedroom condo is more than $300K. Old Greenwich for $1.4 million? Perhaps the cost of a nice garage for your Ferrari. Whoever or whatever put this video together should review the financials for all 20 towns. All seem woefully out of date.

      Cry me a river, that's why the Dems reduced the gas tax and our gas costs the same or lower than NJ, which was known as one on the lowest gas costs in the country.
      The repubs never met a subject that they couldn't whine about.

      Drop the reference to New Britain. In the last ten years …enormous changes for the better. Downtown is booming and three quarters of our neighborhoods are delightful. A university town with great medical services. Super park system . Yes there are poor but crime is low . Easily the most upbeat and progressive of the states larger cities.

    Connecticut Beaches are all on the Sound, so there is no decent surf. Except for Stamford, the cities in Connecticut are mostly ghetto. Fairfield County is nice and commutable to NYC. The rest of the state is pretty boring. Taxes are high in Connecticut. Move to Massachusetts instead. It's better on almost every metric. Connecticut is like New Jersey, but further from the city.. there are no major league sports teams in CT. It's definitely a drive through state.
