This is very true. The only town I wouldn’t suggest is Oxford, because it is mostly single family homes. Seymour/Shelton/Derby/Ansonia are great suggestions though.

Stratford, Shelton, or Milford are good options. Apartment will be modest but doable.

Believe it or not, Route 8 south in the morning through Ansonia/Derby is probably worse than 95 through Milford. It can get pretty jammed up going over the Commodore Bridge (opposite for evening).

I know Valley mayors made a plea to the state to increase trains on the Waterbury line. Hopefully they will.

The state Has a project on the Waterburyd line adding signals and sidings so more than one train can use it at one time. I could not find the schedule for it though. I thought it was soon though. It sure is needed. Jay

Hey fellow Indian. Please look in to robert treat apartments in milford. There are lot of Indians (specifically Telugu speaking people) and also commute would be doable, probably around 15 min one way.
