I just got off the phone with a realtor that handles Oronoque Village. I'll be taking a look at it this week.



Access to the train and lower Fairfield County and the things I like to do without breaking the bank are important. Stratford is a decent town.


Thank you for all the insight and suggestions.


If other communities come to mind, feel free to add.

My great aunt lived in Heritage Village in the 1980s. It seemed like a pleasant place with some nice facilities. I'm not sure how much the facilities were used since many of the people there seemed to be very old. The neighbors around her were so old that the place seemed to be one step above a graveyard, at least her section of it. I'm not sure what it looks like now. Southbury is a nice town and it was a pleasant place to visit.
