Danbury = A better Waterbury

This is a dumb comment. It’s basically saying “Danbury is a less shit city than this shit city” which is not true. Both in terms of economy and safety Danbury is way better than Waterbury. And I get the comment is saying Danbury is better, but to make the comparison in the first place is misleading.

You can use this to compare crime https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ct/danbury/crime. Crime in Danbury is below the Connecticut average, and Connecticut is already the fifth safest state.

Danbury provides easy access to a lot of stores, great food, mixture of cultures , and has one of the strongest economies in ct.

Biggest cons to Danbury are the schools. The downtown could also be better.

Also just depends on what you want. A city of nearly 100k people from all over the world? Or a more rural town of 20k that’s 90% white? Plenty of those around Danbury

But overall a pretty solid place to live and nowhere near as bad as some of the people on here might insinuate

Can you be a little more specific? I'm from NY and I don't really know much about CT neighborhoods

It's better to live in the suburbs. Both city's kinda suck in and of themselves. Danbury is nice to go to Costco and stuff, but you really don't want to live there. No one ever wants to go to Waterbury.

Living in New Milford, newtown, Shelton, redding, Southbury etc would usually be much better places than directly living in Danbury.

I'd love New Milford or Newtown but I can't find anything affordable in the area. Southbury is a little too far out for my preference, If you know anyone looking to sell 2+ bedrooms ...?

I don't, but Southbury is where I currently live. If you are close to 84, it is about the same. Travel distance as mid new Milford. You should drive around to really get a feel for distances. As it's all about road arteries moreso than raw distance.
