Moving to CT - Need input   Raj   04/30/2015 02:16 PM  

I am moving to CT this summer due to a job change. Both my wife and I will be working in Westchester County (Purchase area).
Have 2 elementary school aged kids. Can you please suggest a good place to live in (either in Fairfield county or Westchester county, NY)? Schools and indian community are important to us.

Thanks in advance.

West chester property taxes are very high so is the rental markets, But the schools are very good. Good luck

White plains could be a good option. Not sure about the schools but Some of our friends live in Lake street, White plains. Area is good and pretty close to market place/ malls/ eating places.
You might want to check it out.

Norwalk could also be a good option. There are families in Norwalk with school going kids. Good place with Indian grocery stores.

If you need Indian community, then come to either Stamford CT, or Norwalk CT. You will be surprised to see how many Indian families live here.

From Stamford, Purchase area is about 15-20 miles, commute time is about 20-30/45 minutes

Stamford school rating is not good.

Rents are pretty crazy in Stamford.

Thank you for providing the insight into Stamford Schools. Are Norwalk schools good?

The info about where you are moving from could be helpful. If you could afford higher costs, Greenwich, Derian, New Canaan have above average and sought after schools. Westchester taxes are high. Scarsdale is known for schools and easier commute to Purchase.

Housing costs and all other services are very high and frustrating specially if you are moving from Florida. Good Luck

When you talk about high cost of living,you also need to factor in the fat paychecks you get in this area.
