What’s your budget? Wilton and Ridgefield will be the priciest. Newtown is still up there, Southbury is outside Fairfield county(but borders Newtown) so it’s the most reasonable, but still pricy. All school systems are good, but feeling the strain of a lot of transplants in recent years. Is commuting distance a consideration?

It is! I work in Westchester and my family is all in Queens, so trying to not stray too, too far.

Well, Southbury would probably be too far of a commute. Newtown would be a little long, over an hour or worse, but doable. The other towns obviously better, if they are on the pricy side maybe consider Bethel, I suppose schools aren’t as highly rated. There is also Monroe, Trumbull, Easton or Redding. All good schools, nice suburban towns. If the budget is good for it, Ridgefield has a really nice downtown, might be a little snobby though.

It’s actually easier to get to NY from Southbury/Woodbury on 84 to 691 than it is on 95 from FFC. Less traffic and thus overall shorter commute.
