Cost of Living in Waterbury, Connecticut

Waterbury serves up an attractive option for those seeking budget-friendly living solutions located within Connecticut's New Haven area boasting plenty of perks without negatively impacting pocketbooks too severely. Median house prices come in the mid-$100s while rental costs hover close by at just over or under half that amount respectively - both considerably lower compared to other nearby cities such as Bridgeport & Stamford which are situated deeper along the eastern coast. Grocery stores likewise remain slightly above US levels although not overly significant as it lies within a region that maintains consistent 6.35% sales tax rates - notably higher compared to most parts of America but still much lower than those found in a number of countries across Europe & Asia.
