Hello, first time on here. I was hoping for some guidance.

Can anyone name some towns in CT that meet the following requirements:

1) about one hour - 1.5 hours (without traffic) to NY/Queens area
2) upper middle -higher end area with great property values, larger homes
3) sewer system preferably
4) amazing school system
5) safe!
6) beautiful family oriented town, well kept houses
7) at least half acre or acre properties
8) community feel
9) not bordering bad towns, a good town sandwiched b/w other good towns
10) not near industry, enviromental hazard type areas
11) pretty quiet
12) not congested
13) cute village/shopping area would be nice
14) not too far from malls, restaurants, etc
15) taxes generally not more than 17,000
16) IGpools allowed
17) high predominance of professionals
18) Christian/Catholic predominance or slightly mixed
19) not near any landfills/sewage tx plants
20) not prone to flooding
21) some young families or young families moving in

Whew, that is a tall order...does such a town exist?

I am not sure if there is a town that meets all of your criteria, but being within an hour and a half of Queens means you need to be in Fairfield County. I would suggest Fairfield. Great town with excellent schools and a lot of great amenties (shops, restaurants, entertainment, family activities, etc.). It is located next to Bridgeport but the portions of Bridgeport along the Fairfield town line are very nice. Plus Fairfield is about 30 square miles so you do not need to be near Bridgpeort to live in town. Jay

Fairfield County is definitely for you! Greenwich is one of our Higher End Towns and probably best meets your criteria.
