We are looking for a family oreiented/friendly place to live. Ridgefiled?

We've just move to Stamford CT(rental) from Portland Oregon for my husband job in Greenwich. We have 4years old boy and 21month girl and looking for a house around $500k-620k 3bd/2bath house with good size yard for our dog in good family oriented/kids frilendly naignborhood. Shool would be the best concern for our situation and we are not comfortable living in Stamford area because of the reason. We are really down to earth people and we think that our life style would not fit in and also too expensive to live in some of towns like Greenwich, Drien, Westport and new Caannan althogh those shools are good. It seems Ridgefield is a nice place for us, yet we have not met any poeple. We have been living Stamford for over a month and I got really west coast sick already just because some people's attitudes. Again, we came form Oregon. We are looking forward to seeing some friendly/nice people or joining some newcomers' groups/moms groups/play groups. Do people in Ridgefield appriciate any ethically diverse culture? I'm Asian by the way. My husband is a little concern about his commutation time to Greenwich compare to a short trip from Stamford. His parents are living in Greenwich as well; however, Ridefiled seems the best bet? we are also looking into Wilton/Fairfield as well. Please give us any info aroud these area.
Thanks.
