$350K will likely get a partially updated raised ranch or cape in the communities mentioned above - maybe an older colonial or contemporary that is livable but very outdated. Newtown will probably have the most options in that price range.
For a cookie cutter style updated (granite etc) 2500-3000 sq ft house with 4 br/2ba in that price range, you would likely need to live somewhere like New Milford, which would not be a great option, commuting-wise.
350k will not get you an updated house in those towns. It will get you a house that is livable but you will need to do work on it.
I don't agree. I was looking at a new construction house in Bethel for about that price. It wasn't huge, but it was 3BR and 2000 square feet.
The house I bought in Milford is 2100 square feet, 3BR, 2 full baths and 2 half baths and it was $350,000 with a nice granite kitchen. Shelton is even less expensive than Milford and Bethel generally.
I think it's important to note that some of the towns suggested above have higher median home values. For instance, Trumbull's in 2011 was $425+k, Monroe's $421+, Bethel's $287+, and New Milford's $234+. The further south and west you go, the more expensive it tends to get among those towns. Shelton's is $354, and Milford's $314.

Look at prices today on zillow. You can't get an updated house in these towns for 350. Sorry and Shelton is not really less expensive than Milford.
For an updated 4BR, I'd recommend Seymour. Might be the best bang for buck. Not a fun commute, but necessary with that budget and needs.
