Norwalk has its share of sketchy areas. I wouldn't automatically dismiss Bridgeport, just practice due diligence in your decisions.

Nash is ok. You want to be WEST of Ellsworth Avenue. It's pretty easy to tell. The neighborhood deteriorates pretty quickly East of Ellsworth.

The reason I do not recommend going east of Main into the Lake Forest area is because some people will advertise a home as Lake Forest but it is really close to the public housing project which quite frankly I would not recommend. Jay

I lived down the street when I lived in Black Rock. No advice. Do what feels right to you. Fairfield County, Connecticut is a great place to live!
