Brooklyn in Connecticut--Cool Danbury - 7/13/2017
If you are looking for a city, that you still get to New York City from, Danbury, with its funky, unique homes, vibrant foodie scene, super hip downtown library, plethora of authentic, mom-and-pop ethnic food stores and specialty markets, should be on your list.

When the kids get to the age of Kindergarten, parents want a town with school choice. No other town in a radius as close to New York City has such expansive and cool choices for education.

DANBURY ROCKS!!! - 9/20/2012
I think Danbury would be a great place for anyone to live!!! I don't and have never personally lived there but I live in the town of new fairfield, which borders Danbury to the north, and I spend most of my time and have most of my friends in the city of Danbury. I love Danbury because the people there are all very nice. You will walk into a grocery store and people will actully help with finding something and won't be rude to you or ignore you, and generally, the people are way nicer and more fun than the kids in my town or adjacent towns around Danbury in my experience, and the city is actually quite diverse. There's actually alot to do if you know how to have a good time. There's a mall, and a few clubs, theres alot of public shopping plazas to hang out in and many kids around to hang out wiht. everything is very close together and in walking distance and there's pretty much sidewalks everywhere (unlike my tonn, where you have to drive everywhere :() I think it would be a great Read More

Living in danbury - 2/16/2010
We have been living here for just one year, so I don't know a lot about Danbury. It is colder than NJ, where I have spent most of my life. Also, it snows more.
The area is pretty, with trees all over, and lots of small hills.
Everything is very convenient. You can find just about any store right within the town.Read More

The crime rate is very low compared to other cities/towns of its size. For the most part, the people are friendly. Typical New England weather. There is much history here. There is just about everything you could want here. It is very diverse with many immigrants from Portugal, Ecuador and Brazil as well as other places. It's a great place to be Read More
