Now I'm back with a mortgage and living in an area that has some of the highest cost of living in the country. The equivalent of a $500,000 home where I came from is over a million dollars here.
I will say this though, Fairfield County is a much nicer place to live than Massachusetts. Pretty much zero crime, better restaurants and friendly people.
Traffic...about the same.
Paid off my 30-year mortgage in 20 years-to-the-day on August 15 this year in Redding, CT.
Agree with you about the locale! House has doubled in value since we moved in here in 1994.
FReegards!
but they drive nicer cars right?
