What relocation looks like in Danbury
The most accessible entry point onto Candlewood, and the only lake town with Metro-North rail.
Danbury is Connecticut's seventh-largest city (2020 census) and, in Chelsea's experience, the most accessible entry point onto Candlewood Lake, with full municipal services, a regional hospital, and the only Metro-North station among the five lake towns.
- Why people choose it
- First-time lake buyers and investors, drawn by entry pricing and rental demand.
- Schools people ask about
- Danbury Public Schools, the largest district of the five towns with 13 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and Danbury High School.
- Getting around
- About 90 minutes to New York City, with a Metro-North station on the Danbury Branch, the only one of the five towns with one.
- Nearby
- Crystal Bay at Nina's Marina, Danbury Yacht Club, and Danbury Town Park.
- The trade-off
- Full city services and the lowest entry price, versus the more rural feel of the other four towns.
