Reply to comment by ruthless_apricot in Best towns for a childless, middle-aged couple? by CatsNSquirrels

Stamford is on the table, but it’s very expensive. So that’s the biggest con at the moment.

Norwalk > Stamford.

Norwalk has more charm and a community vibe while having that NYC proximity as well in my opinion.

It's also in between NYC and New Haven so the best of all worlds as far as the arts and dining are concerned.

Half the reason to live in Westport is the schools. If that’s not a consideration, you’re just paying insane property taxes to subsidize other people’s kids. Also, Westport isn’t really an option unless you’re prepared to buy at $1M+. Even if you buy an apartment or townhouse or find a great deal, fitting in in Westport is tough unless you’re seriously wealthy.

This makes sense to me based on what I’ve seen so far. Thanks!
