So I Went to Bridgeport and Norwalk today (Trumbull: real estate, condos)

[The Mrs]

Bridgeport was not so bad, like I was told. I saw the desirable North end and the undesirable Chopsey Hill(?), Reservoir(?). I really appreciate all of the assistance that everyone gave me with my search. Norwalk was nice and my husband and I really liked some condos there. So thanks for the help.

Glad to see you enjoyed visiting both cities. Good luck with your search!

However, I do think you'll be very happy in Norwalk - it's a lovely city, a fast trek into Gotham via I-95 or Metro-North and some great beaches and parks (Veterans Memorial Park, Calf Pasture Beach, et alia) You mentioned Van Buren Avenue in another thread - great part of town and an excellent choice.

I do hope you'll be very happy there - good luck. Welcome to Connecticut!

And Bridgeport isn't so good either. Don't be seduced by a nice day or two visiting Norwalk or Bridgeport, both are cities with some assets and a lot of problems. Ignore the real estate agents. Do you really want to plunk down your cash and raise a family in these places? Check out the schools and mil rates. Yuck.

Many streets in the North End are nice!

Reservoir in Trumbull - - Not too bad BUT.... go down too far into BPT and that is where one of the few housing projects that remain in Bpt is. From what I hear the streets around the project are rough
