Why have you chosen Waterbury? East Mountain is a nice area, Town Plot and Bunker Hill are also ok. I don't know much about the schools in those neighborhoods. Taxes are high in all areas.

Waterbury isn't that nice overall...I'd day town plot (west of geddes terrace), bunker hill, or any of the side streets off of country club road (thendara, maybrook, shiring, eastfield, southwest, campfield)

Waterbury, Connecticut is an impoverished, politically corrupt former industrial city along the Naugatuck river, at the junction of highways 8 & 84. Waterbury is made up of a small downtown with many small shops where most of the under paid police force is constantly at, there are a few decent areas along the outskirts of the city but the majority of Waterbury is extremely poor drug infested slums. architecture: downtown is made up of very old buildings usually 4-7 stories tall as well as a few larger elevator buildings. The outer areas of the city along it's borders are usually small 1 and 2 family houses. However the majority of the city is composed of rotting, often roach and lead infested tenement houses and walk up apartment buildings between 3-5 floors in height. Other than the relatively low-crime downtown, it is quite common to see prostitutes, street racers and drug dealers all day and night. Waterbury, also know as The Dirty Water, is characterized by it's masses of filth. Rotting garbage, burning garbage and overgrown vegetation. It is very common to see houses that have been abandoned for decades left to rot. Occasionally these buildings burn down or simply collapse. Waterbury has the lowest rate of car owners, the lowest median rents and the highest teen pregnancy rate in the state of Connecticut. There is approximately 20 separate and unique ghettos in the city including "New Pac, South End, Brooklyn and Willow-Plaza. Oddly the crime rate is lower than Hartford and New Haven, on par with Bridgeport and twice as high as Meriden and Bristol. This is because the cops are always near commercial and office areas. This means that nearly all the crime is never even known by the police who report the local crime rate, giving the illusion of a much safer city from looking at documented crime rates. All the horror stories about Waterbury are from people who have lived there or the occasional person who got lost on a shopping trip and ended up in the ghettos.
