Was in Wesport today and saw a 360 Stradale and a Bentley GT Convertible within a short span. Lots of Aston Martin's and Rolls/Bentley's in Westport when I worked there. Saw a Ferrari or Lambo once a month or so.

Even in Milford, there's a guy with a 360 Modena I see pretty regularly, as well as a dark red 458 Italia, a bright red 458, and a silver R8. All have homes around the Gulf Street/Woodmont area. I've also seen a yellow Carrera GT a few times in Milford (also saw a yellow CGT in Westport, I'm assuming it's the same one as they're so rare), and last year I saw both an Aston Martin DBS and a McLaren MP4-12C. Today, I saw a Lotus Seven driving along the water. Again, all near Gulf Street. It's not a rich town by any measure, but there are some wealthy people on the coast.

When I lived in Brookfield/Bethel, an exotic spotting was very, very rare. I did see a few up in Litchfield county out driving though.

Although, parts of those towns can be comparatively rich, notably on Candlewood Lake. Danbury is the "hard-hitting" area in Northern FFC, and finally, Bethel is much nicer than Danbury but relatively inexpensive.

I'd say the wealthiest pockets are definitely along the lakes, especially Lillinonah in Brookfield and Bridgewater.

Fairfield County is kinda boring though, It more like commuter suburb

Sherman. Not sure about Brookfield, but definitely Sherman. Think I'd put Newtown ahead of Brookfield and on par with Sherman. Obviously Sherman is quiet/reserved with not a lot going on or as much to offer as Newtown, but the residents there are quite comfortable.

Haha, yeah! It's crazy how we have Greenwich and Bridgeport all in the same county. The part of FFC I'm talking about is largely known as the Greater Danbury Area, which has a very different vibe from the Greater Bridgeport Area. Danbury Area's richest town is Ridgefield. Ridgefield literally sits on the NY/CT border. I guess Redding comes next as someone else has noted, but, Redding is in a very weird position. It's not really located close to I-84 or other big routes of CT. It has alot of woodsy charm to it, though. I'm convinced no one has cut a tree down in Redding, lol! Compared to other Danbury Area towns, Redding has lots of land considering its population (sits below 10k). After these two towns, it becomes a little subjective, but I'd say Brookfield sits in three. Although there's a good gap between Ridgefield and Redding and rest of the other towns. These are all wealthy towns, however. Not Darien/New Canaan wealthy, but compared to rest of CT, there are very few that beat the remaining towns of Upper FFC excluding Ridgefield/Redding in terms of affluence.

The "poorest" is Danbury, and even then, Danbury sits well above the other cities of CT. Upper Fairfield County has its own charm, no doubt. I love it here. I like being anchored around Danbury as a city, tbh. I'm not so fond of Hartford, Waterbury, New Haven, or BPT. Regarding Lower FFC, I'm only envious of the Merritt Parkway historical and scenic status, tbh. Our best equivalent is Route 6 but much of it is incorporated with I-84. :/

I feel like a bit of a rivalry within the county, lol! People from Lower FFC disregard the Upper FFC folks, and the Upper FFC folks are always thinking just how much richer the Lower FFC folks are, lol!

Anyways, more on topic: The only big name cars you see here are Porsche, Benz, Lexus, Audi, and BMW. And there's quite a few of those. Probably the most common expensive car I see around is the S550 Benz around here which comes close to $100,000. But nothing like Aventadors or 458s in Greenwich, lol!

Bridgewater is not FFC, mate. Dunno if you knew, but, thought I'd clarify just in case someone thought so. It falls in Litchfield County. It's one of those pesky towns that has an Upper FFC feel to it, but isn't.

(Glances towards Southbury) lol!

Agree. It really is a nice area to call home

I pass by a Ferrari dealership many times on Post road in Greenwich yet I don't see them on the road in Fairfield County. I saw one on the Merritt in New Haven county though. I would be nervous driving an exotic car in a congested area like Fairfield.

And yeah, Lambo's are sweeet

[trishguard]

Who would buy a yellow Ferrari? And a white Lamborghini?

Yes I know, I lived next to it for 20 years
