I live in NC now with a 3 and 1 1/2 year old. I love it here. From who I have met, it seems more low key than Darien (not saying it’s low key like Newtown, but overall less than Greenwich and Darien). No one can say if you will like it better than Darien because a lot of it comes down to your personality and what your issues were in Darien. But FWIW I was raised in Katonah and my husband was raised in Ridgefield and we are both very happy in NC. I actually was more inclined towards Westchester originally, but the taxes for schools didn’t make as much sense to me in most towns (Larchmont, Pelham and Bedford school quality compared to what the taxes were- it didn’t match up) and frankly, if I’m putting money towards something, I would rather it be an actual home I own than taxes that disappear. If you want to ask me any specifics I am happy to help!

As for the commute, JayCt- the commute from in town Katonah is the same as Darien but the commute from Waccabuc is significantly longer. It’s an hour and six minute train from Katonah plus a 15-20 minute drive to the train station, potentially longer depending on where in Waccabuc you live, plus the walk to the station from the furthest lot (5 minutes) and that lot already has a 6 year waitlist (last I heard).

My H is in the city 1-3 times a week, depending and he does wish the commute were shorter so I can’t imagine being even further out in Ridgefield.
3 and 1 1/2 year old? You've only scratched the surface. Wait till grade school. Get ready for the ride of your life. Enjoy.

Nice area. Enjoy. If you like cars, be sure to check out the Caffeine and Carburetors show. It's amazing!

Welcome to New Canaan! Be sure to join the Newcomers club- it’s going to be a bit slow this winter due to Covid but once it warms up they have tons of events for both the guys, the girls, the kids and couples. And they do have playgroups set up for toddler aged kids!
