Get ready for the New Yorkers invasion unless it has already started.
The New Yorkers have been "invading" Fairfield for years already. Here is a place where I thought they would never come ....to my neighborhood in the north of Trumbull. But as crazy as it seems when some young couple moves into my area just about everyone tells me they are from NYC.

New Yorkers (and I'm a born and bred one, although I haven't lived there in ~ 20 years) have been invading in droves for many years now. My town in particular had a stretch of really bad years in the early to mid 2000s. But then unfortunately more than a few drowned at our local state park beach. It took significant reduction in parking spots, extreme hike in parking fees, and an outright ban on alcohol to finally get the crowds under control. (And it was seriously out of control for a while!). I understand many summer visitors have now shifted gears and are pouring in to The town of kent now, and trashing Kent falls state park every Saturday/Sunday in the summer )

Trumbull has been attracting NY'ers for a while now.
Probably a third the young (under 40) couples I've met in the past year or so in Fairfield (town) are from NYC. The other 2 thirds split equally between born and raised in the area and from elsewhere - seems like a lot of Northwest coasters too. Diversity, team, diversity.
Right now FFC is being over-run by couples with children that are close to school age due to the private schools in NYC being harder to get into statistically than Harvard. Also, many coming in from Northern New Jersey.
You can tell by just noticing the out-of-state plates around town because they have like 60-90 days to switch the plates over. I see new jersey plates all over; most disappearing now because they moved in the summer. Notice on the weekends what plates do see driving around your towns; they are all New jersey, The NYcers don't have cars so they have either a zipcar or a poor RE agent that they might never buy from shuttling them around from the RR station all over.

I've noticed a boatload of NJ plates in Milford lately, in residential areas. I just assumed it was relatives visiting.
